Hard bulge in my tummy

[garza4]

I had a mastectomy with reconstruction 4 1/2 yrs ago. I had the tram flap procedure everything went fine and the flap seems to be a success.  Two months ago I started feeling this heavy and hard feeling starting under my reconstruct breast and all across my tummy.  I had a CT scan and everything looks fine,  Went back to the plastic surgeon and he says he doesn't think is related to the flap procedure.   And yet I feels this way, if I move feels worse.  Can't do crunches or exercise too much.  Don't know what to do??  Confuse in Tally, Thanks

I had an endoscopy, an abdominal ultrasound, a HIDA scan and a CVC blood test and everything is negative.  Still feeling the same way, I have not done abdominal exercises in a  long time.  Saw my PCP and she says there is nothing else to do.  Referred me to Pain Management doctor.  I would like to go to a Sports Medicina doctor and try these first.
Thanks, garza4

Since you have had a scan and have seen your Plastic Surgeon then you need to see another Dr. for an evaluation of this problem. How about your Oncologist or even your PCP ?? Evidently there must be something awry and you need to find out what it is as soon as possible. It could even be a muscle injury since you say that have done some abd exercises which might not have been such a good idea. If you get no results from the two Dr.s I mentioned then you might try someone who specializes in Sports Medicine.   Regards ....
