incisional hernia

duck11Member

Hi all--i think i've asked about this before but it's getting worse. What do incisional hernias feel like? Are they painful? I get awful, sharp, burrowing type pain in a particular place where i have a lot of scar tissue. I also get really nauseas and have "skinny poop" when these attacks happen. Once in a while i get a severe twisting feeling in the exact same place that drops me and i can't move or it gets worse. It feels like something is being pinched. It's bad enough that i'd go to the ER but it only lasts 15-20 minutes and if I stay perfectly still it goes away. It's awful. It use to only happen once every 2 years but now it happens every 4-6 weeks. My gastroenterologist was like "whatever, you can have it fixed if you want and it bugs you, ask your family dr." I see him tomorrow for a scope and kind of want to be more assertive about getting this addressed. Is this what a hernia from scar tissue feels like? how do they diagnosis it without the typical hernia "bulge"? thanks
