A member asked:

If i lay on my back and push down from just under my breast bone in a straight line to belly button it feels bumpy.... is this normal? endo nml

Lumps and bumps: This is probably nothing to worry about. You might be feeling your xyphoid process, a normal part of your bony anatomy. If you are truly feeling a lump on your abdomen then I would let a doctor check that out. It could be a hernia.
