What Does Pain And Discomfort In The Abdomen Indicate?

yes. I have been experiencing discomfort/pain across my stomach. I have had ultrasound and CT scan; the results were normal. It feels like there is a 2 x 4 across my stomach and also a mass in the area where my ovaries are. It have great difficulty standing, sitting, and bending. It is hard for me to do even the lightest housework or lifting. I have had a penectomy, gall bladder, and open heart surgeries. They said it could be scar tissue. My question is, would the tests show any abnormal masses or lumps in that area? If not, what other tests can be done to figure out why I am hurting. FORGET IT i CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

According to some of the studies even the harness of the scar tissue might also cause pain over the area, might sometimes cause pulling type of pain. To confirm the presence of mass or lump the tests you have gone through is enough but if you still need any clarification you can as go through ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
