Anyone ever have a small lump in stomach?

As I just bent over I felt a pain on left side of my stomach. I felt the area and upon pushing my skin in a bit, felt a small lump inside my stomach. I Googled it and it said in most cases its a hernia from picking up something heavy. I did lift my heavy box spring a day ago, so Im wondering if it may be that. It said online to call doc if pain worsens or it gets bigger. I guess sometimes it can ease on its own. The pain is there mostly if I bend over. Anyone ever have this???

I had a little bump on my belly, I thought it was nothing, turned out my small intestine had ruptured, please get it checked out soon

@sunsporter1649 Could you feel or see the bump on your belly? You cant see anything on my belly, but when i push skin down a bit, you can feel a tiny lump inside

@Coralmist I could see the bump on the outside. I just happened to have a doctors appointment that day, the doc sent me right to the emergency room. Lucky me

@sunsporter1649 I cant see any bump, just feel it inside if i press down. So glad you had an appointment that day..and that it was treated.

@Coralmist It was treated all right, immediate surgery, removal of 12 to 18 inches if the intestine, 6 weeks in the hospital, went from 195 to 143 pounds. For that reason I get worried about bumps on anyone's belly

@sunsporter1649 Wow, you were so lucky. 🦋🌺My dad is saying wait a day or so and gauge it, as its not painful sitting here, only when bending over a tad. And its not seen on my skin or tummy..its inside.

@Coralmist The bump on my belly did not hurt at all, so it might be a good sign you have a bit of discomfort, and no outside sign
