Is your doctor a family practice, a specialist (like OB/GYN) or a sport's med/therapist/etc.? A general family practitioner may not have all the answers for you. This problem needs to get evaluated better, I think. I can't see you having this issue and not having it completely figured out. Good luck.
My doc is a family practice, but I had a series of tests last year. I ended up seeing a general surgeon, GI specialist, and another specialist.
They didn't see a hernia or anything else wrong. I got diagnosed with IBS, so I do have a lot of weird cramping in my stomach.
It was a long journey last year. When I slow down and progress slowly, I'm fine. If I try to push, it starts hurting and takes awhile to go away.
Mostly it's frustrating and no one can figure out what's wrong. I've had every test. At this point, I feel like they'd have to do exploratory surgery to figure it out. And I don't want that.
Dietary change? Some simple exercises to help? I don't like the sound of this, Jen.
