Pressure on the right side

When I was halfway thru pregnancy I had a numb spot in the middle of my torso, as time went by it changed to a feeling of pressure and moved, it's now under my right boob.

it's there all the time about 2 inches long just right of the centre of my chest under the boob, I can't strain when going toilet because it moves, it feels like something is popping out and I feel sick, sometimes the feeling of popping out and sickness happens when I bend but thats very rare.

GPs/Midwives have blamed it on everything from torn ligaments and muscle strain to my stomach being in the wrong position (WTF?) but none of them seem to care and after around 2 years I'm sick of it, I want to know what it is, why it's there and how to get rid of it.

I don't have much energy too but thats been blamed on me being a mother looking after a kid.

Sounds a bit like a hernia to me, book an appt with your GP solely to discuss this and demand some action.

Yes I was thinking something like that and when one of them said she thought my stomach hadn't gone back to the right place after pregnancy I think thats what she was thinking too (lots of GPs at my surgery never see the same one twice really).

This straining to go toilet is a new thing tho, as thats not something I normally do so I wasn't aware that it moved when I do that, It's really pissing me off as I'm been ill, just like everyone else I've been vomiting not that bad tho, but I've been constipated during that time and now things are getting better and moving it's diarrhoea and the urge to push is overwhelming.

I'll go moan at them again in the new year but frankly I think unless I'm rolling on the floor in pain they will not give a damn.

and from reading other things on here it doesn't look like I'm the only one who thinks GPs are a waste of time and money, is it because we've had kids and things change when you have kids?, is it because we are woman? or simply because they don't want to have to spend NHS money that they ignore and fob people off as much as possible?.
