Appendix? It gets infected and can burst which is very dangerous. It is an organ your body doesn't need and if you have trouble with it the sensible thing to do is have it removed. It is a simple surgery & then your troubles are over.

It's a cyst that requires a doctor to lance the area & remove it.  I had one on my back once from acne that I thought had cleared up on its own.  I had crappy insurance then like you do now.  Just make an appointment, be specific about the visit & go.  Most doctor's offices will work out payments with you if you have any co-pays.

Its ounds like a muscle spasm.\n\nBut there is a chance that it could be a hernia or Lymphnode swelling.\n\nSuggestion is to see your Physician.\nhe will advice how to go about it.

where do you have the lump?

Have you ever had a hernia or near hernia? I was told I came very close to getting a hernia after lifting a heavy object away from my body many years ago. Ever since that time I get tenderness in my testicle on that side whnever I overexert myself. I can never quite determine if the pain is coming directly from the testicle or somewhere along the tubes that travel from that point up to the stomach wall where a hernia occurs. I went to see a doctor many years ago who gave me antibiotics thinking I might have a low level infection somewhere and it seemed to make an improvement at the time. But I still get the tenderness from time to time now. I don't belioeve I have an enlargement though. I would check yourself for "lumps" in the scrotal sac in addition to the testicle (compare each side). Any additioal lump is definitely a problem.

L4 ,L5 ' and S1 are all located in the very lower part of your back S1 is the tail bone so if you swelling is in that area and that is where you have been told you need surgery then I would assume that you do indeed need the surgery unfortunately not much you can do other than listen to your doctors advice

I believe you are correct when you said it may be a hernia.\nIt seems like a fairly small hernia so the pain is not there...yet.\nIt gets larger and smaller due to your "insides" coming out...it certainly sounds like a hernia to me....I had one many years ago, a much larger one that involved pain.\n\nIf I was you I would see a doctor...repairing a hernia(especially a small one) is not that big of a deal...Good Luck.

I just got mine removed and boy am I sore.  I am not sure about the liver flushing but my surgeon said that the liver is ok without the gallbladder and the tube that connects to it adapts and get a little bigger to release what the gallbladder did so there should not be any problems with having it out.  I will be asking my doctor about this though when I go back for my checkup.  Thanks..

Gas?  Seriously, I'm not trying to be funny.  I was hospitalized when I was like 10, because the doctors thought I had appendicitis, but it ended up being gas.  Kinda funny.\n\n**for all of you guessing appendicitis, your appendix is on your right side, NOT your left.

I gained almost 30 lbs after my hysto. and most of that is in the belly area.  I thought at first it was simply the "Swelly Belly" one gets after an abdominal hysto... but it didn't go away.

Go to the doctor.  I had a lump before on the right side & it ended up being a cyst (I was able to feel it when I walked, it was bad).  My dr gave me some antibiotics and luckily it burst before I had to have surgery on it.  It can happen when you are pleasuring yourself because your vagina gets engorged and the pressure can be making it more painful for you.  Get it checked out before it gets worse.  Don't be embarrased about telling your doctor-they will want to know so they can accurately diagnose you.  Good luck.

the stomach is on his left side. Could possibly be ulcers.\n\nThe appendix and gallbladder are on the right side, and the kidney's are on the back side of your lower back.

Possibly a fatty tumor, harmless but can be annoying and cause discomfort if it gets quite large.\nDoctor will need to take a tissue sample of it to rule out other concerns. Can opt ot keep it there or have it removed later.

It does sound like a rumbling appendix.  If it's only playing up a bit there's no way a doctor can diagnose it.  Withe appendix problems the pain starts in the left then goes to the right.  So if it moves to the right get to the A&E!\n\nOther than that I'd suggest a food intolerance, probably wheat.  I'd cut out all carbs for a week and see if the pain diminishes.  I can't be bothered to deal with my wheat intolerance, so I have continual abdominal pain.  Stupid cow that I am.

Mesenteric fat (also referred to as omental or intraperitoneal fat).  People with beer bellies often have a large amount of subcutaneous fat also--that's the jiggly stuff on the outside--but if you examine them carefully, the muscular wall of their abdomen is actually distended.  I've also seen people with beer bellies who did not have much subcutaneous fat--their abdomen was distended, but not jiggly.
