I have a question. I have bumps on both sides of my lower abdomen. Both are near the bones that stick out near the hips (hip pointers?). The one on the left appears to be a little larger than the one on the right. I'm thin, and in shape, and can really only see it when I suck in my stomach. I had a hernia scare by my doctors PA two weeks ago using the "cough test". Since then, a surgeon and GP have told me I do not have a hernia. I appear to have a nagging lower abdominal strain on the left side that is FINALLY subsidiing. Anyways, sorry for the long winded question, but what are these bumps just to the inside of the "hip pointers"?
