What do you think? I have a bulge at my upper right abdomen.

I have been dealing with a bulge in my abdomen for about four weeks now. I've been to doctors here and they don't seem to understand or have ever seen something like this before. What do you think I can fly or drive anywhere to get a solution for this pain.

Did any doctor adequately palpate the likely periphery of the protuberance?

No ct scan ? Could be anything from a hernia to a fatty tumor to a hard tumor or a muscle pulled loose and fell down. My husband's biceps did that. Go to a GI md and see who , what they recommend. Go until you are satisfied. Ask your insurance and md you want to see if you have to have a referral ? Prayers you'll get an answer quickly.

A few years ago, I had a bulge on the left side of my lower abdomen. It turned out to be an inguinal hernia. Have your doctors considered that?

Get a new doctor and get a abdomen and pelvis CT scan done.

Some docs might send a person to ER for CT scan…faster than waiting and waiting.
