I’ve seen plenty of doctors at this point, and look, everything with my bladder is fine, but they did mention there's a chance a hernia might be developing—though honestly, if it’s been sitting there for over a year and a half, I doubt it. The other possibility they floated was some kind of gut issue. When I pressed them on how to handle it if it actually is an intestinal problem, they told me a gastroscopy would be the next step, but they aren't exactly pushing for it. Their logic is that if I’ve managed to live with this for eighteen months without a crisis, it probably isn't anything life-threatening, and if it isn't dangerous, they’d rather just leave well enough alone. But here’s the thing: I can't even go out and swing an axe without feeling the pain.

Look, I’ve got this protrusion on the lower right side of my abdomen that sticks out quite a bit. It’s about 10cm long and 6cm wide, positioned just to the right of my navel, basically level with it. My entire midsection seems shifted to the left, meaning my belly button sits slightly off-center toward the left side. If anyone actually knows what might be causing this, let me know. I should also mention that the muscle in that specific area feels completely immobile, whereas I can move the left side however I want.
And when I lean forward with my whole body, the right side hangs lower than the left...
