    [USER=”1916″]Chaunce1234[/USER] , thanks for the detailed info!

    There were four pictures taken…well…four that were printed and given to me, anyway. The doc said he didn’t see anything.

    Regarding her symptoms: in certain positions of sitting, stretching, or at times laughing hard causes a firm bump to protrude out at a location to the left of her navel. I’ve seen it, and felt it, and it’s definitely ‘something’. She has to stretch out flat and force this ‘thing’ back in from whence it came. It is very painful for her.

    No MRI or CT was ever taken at all, and I’m thinking that there also was no ultrasound (90% certain of that). The doc simply asked where it was and felt like he could find it based on her symptoms. She’s never been able to make this happen on command so as to demonstrate it, although we circled it once when it was protruding at home so we could show him where it was located. According to his analysis of the photos he showed me, he examined that area with her abdomen inflated but was unable to locate anything.

    Isn’t one of the surgeon contributors here in Indy?

    Wow, it would be fantastic to have a surgeon who is skilled and so close to home!

    I read about [USER=”935″]drtowfigh[/USER] initially, which is what prompted me to dig deeper. Eventually I landed here! Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated!
