@phillybomber I can relate to your problem and feel as frustrated as you at doctors’ insensitivity. I too have had a distended abdomen for many years, and dismissed by every doctor and specialist I have seen, but my distension is in my right side, just above my hip. I have no waist to speak of, so this bulge sits between my rib and hip, on my right side. No doctor can explain what is causing this and each doctor has just waved me away. It looks and feels like a hernia without pain, though sometimes it does feel uncomfortable. This bulge seems to get bigger toward the end of the day.

@ rashida mine is on my left exactly same spot as you say yours is, I have to lay on my left side on heating pad 24/7 an I don’t have major pain but I have like one doctor said it’s called a nulling pain, I said it’s like someone with there thumb is constantly pressing on it, but in all actuality 1 year not 1 doctor cares about this oblong lump at first there was 3 now I’m down to 1 only break I’ve had in one year. Last summer I couldn’t leave my house I was so distended and so sick and I swore after my gallbladder surgery in December I was going to be back to myself, lastnight I felt so sick and I felt so sad I cried myself to sleep just trying to think why did this happen, why doesn’t any doctor truly care Oh that’s another issue doctors always say to me well you went to all specialist so there like try them out again. I’m so so sad I don’t know what my next move is.
