Could be a hernia. Get it checked out.

If it was it’d mean they’d have to slice open my stomach and put it back in place? And give me painkillers meds?? This would be no good!!!

I’ll get it checked out

Chances are they would do it by keyhole. You would be out the same day. The pain is minimal…

If I remember correctly an untreated hernia is dangerous as you can get complications if it gets strangulated.

Definitely speak to a doctor.

Thanks jimbob. I had hernia surgery when I was 14 and it was very painful after. I needed codeine. But that was lower and to the right. Last time I got hernia surgery it ruined my life! I wished I had got it arthroscopically. I always told my mom if I got another hernia I’d do it arthroscopically.

They prefer arthroscopically for that very reason. In fact they rarely do open surgery for hernias anymore.

You will be all good man. Chances are Tylenol will cover the pain.
