What Is The Lump Over My Naval Area?
When straining to lift my self out of the bath tub. I have been noticeing a large oval shaped lump 1.5inches above my navel its about 4'long and does not hurt. The only pain I have had is lower back pain for the past 3 months or so.
other than that I have been feeling normal. I have had a history of lower back pain so my bigest concern is the lump above my navel.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having developing umbilical hernia as while increasing intra abdominal pressure while straining yourself while coming out of tub.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Avoid constipation and cough reflex.
Avoid weight lifting.
Ok and take care.
