    Thanks so much for the support and recommendation. I had an appt with the GI this morning. I asked him to do an exam with me standing, and he was able to hit the spot that does that “pop”… he said it felt like globules of fat, and that could be normal (my questions- is it normal for that to be so painful? And… can’t that happen with a hernia?) He is great but somewhat skeptical of it being a hernia because he said it would certainly be seen. I am glad however that was more than willing to send me to Dr. Procter. He said that they would set up the referral for me, but I’m not sure how long that will take. Hopefully I’ll be able to get in sooner rather than later…
