I recently had an endoscopy and a very large hiatal hernia was discovered. I have experienced pain in my side and under my rib cage ever since. A CT scan only revealed the Hernia. Can all this pain be caused by the Hernia/
Hi Gerdie!
Boy howdy can a hernia hurt!! You can read about your hernia at this link and there is a picture. Just the description is enough to make me hurt!
There is also more information at the patient guide located here. http://www.healthcentral.com/acid-reflux/patient-guide-44566-6.html
While it's always best to see your doctor, these resources can help give you the information you need to ask all the right questions.
