Did they check your gallbladder, too?  I have a hiatal hernia, too, but it didn't bother me until it got big.  

My chiropractor does a hiatal hernia adjustment that helps.  You might check into that.

yes they did cat scan,gallbadder and even hida scan and they didnt find nothing,
just the hital hernia,i dont know why it brothers me so much when doctor said its small.

THis is amazing...I too was just diagnosed with a small hernia and there are days it really hurts...I can take a pain pill and nothing seems to help.  I'm not sure why we suffer with something considered so small.  Stress, fatigue, diet...all are contributing factors in this.  My doctor gave me a drug called Levsin...an anti-spasmotic.  I just took the first one so I guess I'll see if it helps and I'll let you know.
