Swelling Across Lower Abdomen After A Day Of Heavy Lifting, On And Off Cramps In Stomach. Ultrasound And MRI Normal. Thoughts?
I have a swelling that swells up across my left lower abdomen across my belt line. It was diagnosed first as Inguinal hernia but its placing is not at the side of my groin but just below my belly stretching across from my side to the center horizontally. However my ultrasound scan and MRI results shows no defect on my abdomen wall. I still get this swellings especially after a day of heavy lifting, I am in the army and we do have training daily, and now it is getting worse with abdomen cramps as well and constant stomach discomfort whenever I walk or sit down for prolonged periods of time. Could you help me out to identify what this might this be?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having direct inguinal hernia or umbilical hernia.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Avoid constipation and coughing.
Avoid lifting heavy weight or heavy exercise.
Take plenty of water.
Ok and take care.
