I feel like I have a hernia. When I sit or bend over I feel a pressure and pain. I don't have a knot though. CT scan scheduled soon. I'm hoping it's a hernia and not a blockage of adhesion.

If it’s a blockage you’ll know it- very painful, often fairly acute, and you’ll feel bloated and likely somewhat nauseous. It certainly could be a hernia- I had an inguinal hernia with no bump or anything evident except pain radiating down my leg and testicle. It could be a lot of things honestly so it’s good you’re getting a CT!
LovelyCarrot thanks. Did your CT show enough to warrant surgery? I'm wondering what to do if nothing shows up. Did you get surgery?
I did- actually an ultrasound showed it as they had me push while scanning. I’m sure a CT also works. I opted for surgery but you don’t have to, depends on how impactful it is to you. A blockage will also show on a CT as a bloated out section of your intestine. I’m sure you’ll get an answer either way.
