Overthinking and Need Some Clarity

I've been poking and pushing on my stomach again lately. If there was a mass in there what would it feel like? Would there be a solid ball like thing, immovable and painful? Would three doctors and a blood test work up pick up on it?

Currently on the upper part of my stomach just below my sternum I can feel a long sausage like thing and it feel like I can roll it around. I'm 5 3 and 115 pounds. I've had three doctors poke, tap, prod and all feel nothing. I've also had a complete blood test. All blood counts came back normal. Am I just feeling something normal or am I rightfully freaking out? For some reason my brain is like no everything should feel smooth and flat and all. I'm also feeling like I'm bloated in that area as well. Like it wants to gurgle but can't.

You felt it too?! I keep rolling it around and I think I've poked and pushed so much I've made it sore. :(

You really think if there was something wrong at least one of the three would've felt something?

I'm being 100% honest with you. I just felt on my stomach right where you described you can feel the "sausage" like feeling and I can feel a similar thing! Funny how when we are so occupied with our bodies we find new things.

Trust your doctors. You have nothing to worry about. and the more you feel around the more you will find and the more you will worry. You're a small person making it even more likely for doctors to find anything irregular in your stomach.
