I have been experiencing pain in my abdominal area almost every day. I have been having about one or two good days a week for the past three months which means I am able to function almost normally. Usually the pain comes with swelling. Sometimes the swelling includes my whole abdominal area and sometimes there is hard knot area that may be the size of a baseball. It comes and goes in different areas.
Since I am new to this...since it deals with the fat cells, what happens if I lose weight? I am currently about 20 lbs over weight. Would losing weight help?
I have not been able to find any physician in the Houston area that knows anything about this. Does anyone know of anyone?
Some of my family is recommending that I go to the Mayo Clinic. How long does it usually take to get an appointment?
