Hi All

4 weeks post anterior resection and reversal of colostomy (had both together) and I have a hard oval shaped area in my abdomen slightly higher than the top edge of my skin scar. Deep in tissue, no sign of skin bulge. Firm to touch. Goes deep when lie down but can still find it if prod around. Anybody had similar & what did you do about it. Could be scar tissue but worried may be hernia or something else. I had a parastomal hernia but in different place and also that bulged out of skin. Welcome anybody's thoughts, suggestions, experiences
