Thanks for that, I'll look into it. I wouldn't be surprised if I had something similar to that hernia. I thought I had pancreatitis for awhile, but that looks like it fits better.

I also just got an MRI and an ultrasound for a hard lump on my leg to make sure it wasn't a clot (they thought it was cellulitis but antibiotics didn't make it go away, now they think it was cellulitis and the remnants just might just stick around for awhile).

Honestly I'm just tired of getting all this checked out all the time. I max out my rather high deductible pretty quick these past couple of years, mostly to get tests taken that (so far) have been negative, so I don't really know what's actually wrong (although apparently the doctors don't ever think it's too serious, but I'm worried they make some assumptions because of my weight and something more serious might be hiding).

I agree, getting old sucks. And I'm still considered too 'young' for half the things they're testing on me, from what they keep telling me.
