I have a weird sensation in ride side of stomach (abdomen) about half way between belly button and ribs (just off to right side). mostly noticeable when I bend over or stretch. had ultrasound and blood tests and all organs are fine... nothing irregular showed up. all good. could it be a muscle issue? feels like stitch like feeling when I exercise (ride bike), but most noticeable if I riding hunch up. if I stretch out on bike it feels better. thesensation does not feel too deep. I have previously had IBS issues, but that seems a lot better on Gluten free diet and minimal dairy.... have been referred for another ultra sound for possible hernia - but the feeling is more general area roughly about size of palm of hand.... but always in the same region. any ideas?
Thanks for query. Pain which changes on posture and as you mention not so deep. With normal investigations it might be probably muscular in origin. Hernia would give you a bulge in that area. If pain is severe you need a complete evaluation to rule out all possible causes like Biliary tract diseaseAppendicitisDiverticulitisMesenteric ischemia (risk factors include atrial fibrillation, atherosclerotic disease, and low ejection fraction)Abdominal aortic aneurysmPeptic ulcer diseaseMalignancyGastroenteritis. I am not here to scare you. But just to enumerate that these are possible causes of abdominal pain.regards
