    Pain in lower right abdomin

    Some facts:
    – CT scans are not very sensitive in finding small hernias in the pelvis. If the clinical suspicion for a groin hernia exists, and Cat is normal, a dynamic ultrasound and/or MRI is necessary.

    -pain can present with nausea. So perhaps your nausea is due to the hernia pain. I do see this often.

    – there are a lot of very good to excellent hernia specialists in Florida, especially South Florida. Please go to the American Hernia Society website and click on Find a Hernia Specialist to find one near you.

    – hernia specialists in Florida who are nationally recognized and who I personally know and can vouch for:

    Bruce Ramshaw
    Eduardo Parra-Davila
    Jerrold Young
    David Edelman

    Please provide us with a followup. And if it turns out that you had a hysterectomy for naught, please make sure your gynecologist is made aware of your diagnosis.
