Sausage like mass on upper left stomach between stomach and

So about four years ago I started having this feeling of an organ or something being trapped when sat down, then I felt this lump kinda the size of a big marble, that when I pressed it kinda bumped up under my ribs. This went on for a while, so went to the doctors but when lying down she could not feel anything. Shortly after this I started getting very sharp pains in the the centre of the stomach area which lasted between 3/8 mins at a time, which went away with milk or backing soda or antacids. 

Well now i don't feel like anything being trapped but I have a fairly long sausage mass going from the stomach down to where this strange lump/pain/weird feeling was, you can't really feel it when I lie down but u can when I'm standing if u run your fingers/hands down that area, I have at least 3 people tell me they can feel it too. I still get the pain in the stomach but not as bad and now I get the odd stabing pain in the area just under the left rib cage. I need to ask for a scan or x-ray but don't know how to ask for it with covid. Anyone have this? Thanks

    I'm sorry to hear about your situation, and hopefully you will get to chat with others who can relate to what you're going through. Still, the only one who will be able to tell you if this is something serious is your doctor, so if you haven't done it yet, perhaps it might be a good idea to phone your GP for an appointment to have this mass checked.

    I hope all turns out OK for you.

    All the best,
