I have had a hysterectomy many years ago so no PREGO here! For about 8 years now I have been having this strange thing like under my left breast n a lil in the center. If I bend forward or squat down to like wash floors this"thing" pulses out! I have to lean back because it's so painful that's all that helps it! It last anywhere from 16 sec to a minute and omg the pain is crazy bad!! I had surgery for a belly button hernia mainly because the dr said that's the only way ins will cover it! The dr told me when he was looking inside my tummy he saw that my intestines were underneath my rib cage so he pulled them back down! I thought finally it was gonna be over... nope not three weeks later same thing!! The dr did a number on my tummy though and I ended up with a HUGE BLOOD CLOT!! I was huge... never have been fat and snapped back after all my children were born! It was very painful and my belly was even darker then it should be, almost looked bruised!! This stupid dr said he could open me up n scoop the clots out or leave it and it will dissolve! I chose to let it dissolve because my mother was very sick and we knew she would only have this Xmas with us! So... three weeks after surgery I was cooking a huge thanksgiving dinner at my moms cause she was too sick to drive 2 hours to my house! I got my brothers and their families to also come to dinner because it had been sooooo many years since all us kids were together!! I'm so happy I did it but the entire time I was in so much pain and continued to be for a year!! I now have thr movement in my belly and I'm pretty sure diverticulitis to go with it!! All the drs say is, can you make it do it now? Really?? If I could make this pain happen on demand I surely wouldn't cause of how bad it hurts! Plus I'm pretty sure I would know what it is then!!! Ugh I just want to be normal again!!! Good luck you all, I feel for each one of you! Oh... I have had all natural births so that's not what is causing mine!! I have had many surgeries on my tummy though!!!

Symptoms:
Mass in lower right abdomen that comes and goes. Visibly moves. Not painful. Generally constipated.

CT, ultrasound, vaginal ultrasound, MRI and colonoscopy. Blood work as well.

After seeing multiple doctors I have heard repeatedly that it is most likely gas and constipation. They have not seen anything in imaging.
Has anyone had a diagnosis? It's a never ending worry.
