Although there are several possibilities I would consider a trocar site hernia as a possibility. This would be evident on physical exam. Is there really no provision for coverage of his patients?
Thank you so much for your response. There is another doctor that is seeing his patients until he returns but I really wanted to wait, if possible, to see my surgeon. I wonder if it is a trocar site hernia, is that something that can wait? It is strange that this morning when I woke up, the pain is gone again. Could it possibly be inflamed at times when I am lifting, etc. I work as a cashier at a grocery store. ty
