27 yo f. 105 lbs 5′4″ I’ve had a sonogram and docs found nothing. One doc thinks it might be a pushed out muscle, she thinks physical therapy can help push it back in.It looks like an oversized love handle and still growing. It doesn’t hurt when I push on it or when when I walk. It’s a very slight pain, that comes and goes every hour or so. I don’t feel it in my spine, just deep in my left side and nothing I do makes it hurt worse. Should docs look for anything else. One doc told me that it’s just fat! Fat doesn’t freaking hurt and I’m skinnier than most of hollywood! Could it be cysts?

This sounds like a hernia. It’s possibly a cyst, but it really sounds like A hernia. I think you should see another doctor and get another opinion. it’s always a good idea to see several types of doctors before you get a qualified answer. I would also recommend you see an acupuncturist.

This is not consisent with any type of musculoskeletal problem that could be addressed by PT. If it is not affected by movement, I’d have the docs keep looking…
