Currently receiving Neurofeedback as a treatment for my medical history.
Suggestions thus far from my psychiatrist said that it may be a hernia. I am thinking a femoral hernia if it is such. He said that I should have a surgeon cut me open or do a colonoscopy.
I am looking for other possible answers to this problem to present to my doctor when I see him again.

 Hello -
From your description of the onset, it does sound as though there's at least a good chance that something herniated. A colonoscopy might be helpful, but a barium enema or even a CT scan with contrast may do the trick. If there's no herniation evident then a colonoscopy would be more likely to be required to rule out some other problem in the colon.
I hope this is helpful. Best of luck to you. Please follow up with us as needed.
