Hard lump upper right abdomen

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had this happen? I had abdominal surgery 6 years ago for a mass on my adrenal gland. I've developed a BIG hard lump on the upper right side of my abdomen and it can be really annoying especially when bending over not to mention how it looks. Ive put up with it this long but its looking worse. My primary care doctor has really been not much help.he just says its a hernia. Any ideas on who to see to have it removed? Thank you.

Hi Moderator! Do you think a general type surgeon would be who to see? I ask because I need to figure out who to see. The only thing is, that's the type of doctor who caused this to begin with. I wasn't sure what kind of surgeon to see. Thank you so very much!

No, at first I thought I can deal with it because people have much worse, but as time goes on the lump has become worse. I'm afraid to go back to that doctor because I don't think he's trustworthy. After that surgery, I experienced numbness in the left leg and subsequently had to have 4 spinal surgeries after never having a back issue-ever -in the past. At the post op visit he couldn't wait for me to leave. I actually think something happened during that surgery that the hospital has covered up. When I awoke from the surgery in the recovery room I could feel everything and was in agony. The nurses kept telling me that I wouldn't be able to feel the incision because I'd had an epidural. I had to call my husband to come to the hospital to demand help because they wouldn't listen to me. And I've always been told I have a high tolerance for pain. The anesthesia doctors called me at home and advised seeing a neurosurgeon. I have reviewed the medical records and there was no mention of the numbness and excruciating pain in the recovery room. I am looking for a new surgeon but just not sure which type. Would this come under a thoracic surgeon? Thank you for your time and assistance.
