    Do I Have a Hidden/Occult Hernia?

    Where exactly is your pain? It sounds like you very well may have a hernia. Have you had surgery of the abdomen? If not, the areas where hernias may exist are either at your belly button, a finger breadth above your belly button, or halfway between your belly button and your lower sternum.

    Did your doctors look at the films themselves? Or just read the reports?

    In Houston you can see Dr Charles Butler or Dr Brian Dunkin. You can also find other interested surgeons on http://americanherniasociety.org/find-a-hernia-specialist/

    I am also happy to review your studies and images and give you my opinion if you wish to do an online consultation.
