    Possible hernia in Los Angeles

    Based on your symptoms, I would recommend that you be evaluated by a laparoscopic specialist in abdominal surgery and have your MRI/CT scan reviewed by that surgeon. Either the imaging was misread or it did not catch the internal hernia, as it is may be an intermittent internal herniation.

    Most internal hernias are treated surgically based on history. Imaging is only helpful if it shows the internal hernia. A negative imaging study does not rule our an internal hernia.
