Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was laying in bed and rocked upward just slightly, very slightly and felt a hard mass from just below my rib cage, centered, down to my belly button probably about an inch wide. when sitting I do not feel it. I am 52 and a 6 1 270 pound male. I am wondering if this is muscle mass or what but it just felt strange. Thanks.
Your symptoms seem to be related umbilical hernia. I suggest doing an ultrasound for further evaluation. I also recommend consulting a surgeon for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
