Is this normal? | The J-Pouch Group

Laura MemMember

I have had my jpouch since 11/08 with very few problems but I am wondering if it this is normal, I feel like I have a small softball in my lower right quadrant of my abdomen. It feels hard and has been there from the beginning. I once asked my GI about it and he didn't even feel it, just sort of blew it off.

Hummm if you do not think it is normal I would go see another doctor. The one thing I learned through this rollercoaster is to always get another opinion and if you are not 100% sure it is right go for another. Best of Luck to you!

Yeah, you can even have your primary doc examine you and refer you for imaging and/or to a surgeon if he feels something unusual. You need reassurance, not a dismissive attitude. But, if you feel well and everything is working right, it probably is just scar tissue.

Maybe scar tissue, since I have had eight major abdominal surgeries that could be a possibility!
