I have a large mass on my left side abdomen. Went to the hospital and they ran a CT Scan. All organs are fine. However, lump is causing me great pain and hard to breathe. Have the mass for a year. Diagnosis at hospital = muscle strain = gave Vicadin and Flexeral. Still in pain, Mass is still there and I still cannot breathe. I am prone to tumors. Should I seek another hospital?
