Could this be a hernia???

Thank you all for your input. I had my barium enema test today and the doctor said I had diverticulosis and put me on an antibiotic and told me to continue clear diet. Do you think this is it? I always thought most diverticulitis happens on left. I see my gyn next week. I guess wait and see how things go and if no better I will check back in and either consultation online or take your advise and make the trip to Saint Augustine.
still in a lot of pain can’t do anything and I’m not working till I figure this out.

Could this be a hernia???

Thank you for your response as well. First let me say no other surgeries. As far as the port , no the pain is below that area. The pain is constant laying usually gives me relief. as far as endometriosis, wouldn’t that have been seen on ultra sound or ct scan? The back pain is from a herniated disc but I do not feel the back pain as this pain is so far worst.

I am going for a barium enema test on Thursday. Is there any suggestions to tell or ask dr while doing this. Would they see a hernia if one is there? The reason I’m having this test is they couldn’t get through during colonoscopy due to diverticulosis.

Next week I am seeing the gynecologist. If nothing found in the barium test, any questions I should ask?

If nothing found on either test I am going to either see a specialist that you all could possibly recomend or do the online consultation.

Also, a friend of mind who told me about this site (Aminuts) had multiple test 2 ultra sounds one with valsalva, 3 ct scans with and without contrast(also one valsalva) small bowel follow thru, colonoscopy, and endoscopy all negative to hernia! She sent her test to Dr Towfigh’s online consultation who suspected right inguinal hernia possibly left inguinal hernia but test were not done correctly to see the area. She referred to Dr Ramshaw who was relocating to Tenn. but consulted with her and did an exam. He also suspected! She flew to Dr. Towfigh and had surgery that same week bilateral inguinal hernia and right femoral. She suspected left femoral as well but assuming once inside left was not there.

Sorry so long, but my point is all test negative and she had 3 hernias that took 2 1/2 years to diagnose. We live in same area and test from same company some were at a different facility.

My location is the southeast coast of Florida if you have any suggestions for a hernia specialist if needed!

Note i am preping today and tomorrow for the barium test and I am in even more pain and laying down only some relief. So maybe something with colon or intestine. She is helping me with answering questions so we will keep you posted.

Thank you for taking the time to help me and if any suggestions to above I am greatly appreciative.
