Another strange question. Well, what else do you all expect from me?

Strange question but here it goes. When I bend over, my liver (or something) seems to pop out underneath my right breast. It shows up as a long lump. It only goes away when I push it back in. Then it hurts like anything. Is that possible or am I just dreaming that it happens? My OH said go to A&E but I said no. Does anyone know what it is?

Cheers.

Sounds like it could be a hernia. I would go and get it checked out.

If post transplant phone your Transplant Coordinator today. If not make a same day appointment with your Duty GP or go to A&E today. Problem is no-one knows, and you need a professional to assess you.

I’m too healthy for a transplant (go figure??) I had a look on the interweb and it said it could be a muscle cramp. It’s very rare to get a hernia that far up. Anyway, I’ve already got two umbilical hernias. I don’t need anymore lol.

I like your very strange questions ( it makes me laugh).The simple answer is ' don't bend over "It does sound muscular.

🤔🤔.. well Brett. If it were me i would go A&E. something is causing it.. liver or not it is not normal for something to ' pop out ' then be able to push it back in whilst causing pain?

How do you know your not making things worse whatever it is.. peace of mind Brett ! .go get checked..

The hernia doctor told me that only if the pain is really bed then I need A&E otherwise don’t bother. I’ll wait for a bit .

Don’t go to A&E if you’re in uk, cause you’ll just wait around for hours, get your go to refer you for a scan.

My A&E is quite good. As soon as I say cirrhosis I’m straight into a bed with doctors all around me. Well, most the time anyway.
