Oh, honey, yes. Mine was inguinal, not umbilical, but still. How long have you had it? The theory is that the endometrial tissue, as it grows, is pulling on your muscle tissue, and possibly stretching it and spreading it apart in places, allowing the hernia to pop out. YOU TELL THE DOCTOR THAT, TOO! Especially if it's painful to TOUCH!
OK, the time has come to stop being "tough." Got it? Take it from me, it doesn't get better with time, and you don't want to look back 10 years from now and think how you could have been better while you were still young.
I noticed it when I was 16....I was i think picking lint out of my belly button and im like "OUCH!" and moms like "what?" and i said..."it REALLY hurts when I push in...." and she goes "ha...well then dont do that duh!" and i go "no...wait...i feel something and its making me sick...." and i started cring and my face got pale and she goes "whats' wrong!?" and i said feel my belly button!" and she did and she ran and called the docs. We went and they said itwas a hernia and all they said was that if/when I plan on having kids to get it surgically fixed first or it could cause me problems lol!
its VERY painful....after the bladder problem I was referred to a urologist for a check up before they put a camera up my eurethria....well he asked me if i had any weird things with my stomach and i said "a hernia?" and he SHOVES his FINGER in my belly buttona nd i start screaming and my mom flipped out on him and said "CANT YOU see its hurting her!?!?!" and he stopped what he was doing and goes "hteres no hernia there" and i go "um....my doctor felt it and diagnosedit look at his records if you dont believe me that hurt DO NOT do it again!"
needless to say after that i canceld my eurethra camera appt with him, i requested another eurologyst to check me but.... If i remember correctly they told me he was the only one i could go to.... and i do not watn to go back to him he was heartless.

There are so many tests that could be performed that even my craptastic HMO considers no big deal. Ultrasound, colonoscopy, etc. An ultrasound can show a lot about your guts.
If you hammer home, again and again, the point about how much PAIN you are in, they really should listen. I know that when I used to have simple pap smears, just the swab touching my cervix hurt so badly I would scream. That is NOT NORMAL, but I didn't know it until after my big surgery, when suddenly it didn't hurt any more!
Do you watch "House?" You know how in the last episode everyone was freaking out because he was taking Methadone for his debilitating leg pain? Well, guess what I was on for the last several months before my most recent surgery, because nothing else touched the pain? Yup, Methadone. It worked very well, and I thank God that I had a GYNO who was not afraid to administer pain management medications.

Women who have immune disorders in their family are more likely to have endo, because that's pretty much what endo is.
When you say "hypermobility," do you mean like joints that are too lax? Because I have that, ever since I was pregnant! "Pubis symphisis dysfunction." Sometimes it feels like my legs are going to fall off at the hip joint.
yep...
^^ I took these pictures being a goof for the one post about "weird tallents" I love Les survivorman so i thought i'd point him out hahahaha!
My ankles are REALLY bad i collapse a lot for no reason other than my ankles give out... actually when I got up to get a drink, i had to limp because my ankle kept wanting to give out. I also have arthritis alot where my thigh bone meets my hip, and yep they pop out...I have to hug my knee HARD to get it to pop back in when it pops out. All my bones crunch and grind too lol.
I've had it all my life... my mom had to take me to the ER over 4 tmes as a child because she'd accidentally pull my arms out of sockets, then the nurses felt so bad for my mom always coming in so they taught her how to put it back in at home instead of rushing me to the hospital everytime and having me suffer so long until i could see the doc. I havent had my arm dislocate in a loonng time though luckily.

Yes, please, skip Dr. Heartless. I'm sorry you went through that.
Honestly, hernias are completely underdiagnosed in women. The surgeon who repaired mine was so angry about my having been told (repeatedly) that I did not have a hernia, even when I was coming in and TELLING them that I thought I had a hernia...she had a nurse take a Polaroid of mine when they pulled it outside of my body, before they cut it, just so I could show the dunderheads!

Girl, those pictures are not right! Bless your heart.
You have enough challenges to deal with--I say let's get rid of as many as we can!
Have you ever tried totally eliminating sugar and flour (all grain products) from your diet, or at least following a glycemic index diet? It's worth a shot, and often helps w/ PCOS symptoms.
Oh, and just to bring this back on topic, I am TiVoing "My Fake Baby" right now.
