Think I have a Hernia

What makes you think it's a hernia?  The reason I ask is because I thought I had one a few months back.  Sports hernia is what I thought it might have been.  I cut out all my exercising except walking and the pain went away after about 6-8 weeks.  I should have gone to the doctor but never did.

There is light pain and discomfort and there is a definite protrusion from my lower groin area - it seems to pop in and out - wasnt there yesterday during the day but when I got out of the shower it was noticeable.

I've had one and had to have surgery.  I don't remember pain or discomfort, but I had a protrusion in my groin area and I could push it in and out.  I'm not exactly sure if there's another option for this type of hernia other than surgery especially when it's in the groin region, but I'm no doctor.  The bad news is that you are bed ridden for at least a week and things like walking to use the restroom or just lifting yourself out of bed sucks during that time.  The good news is that you get some awesome drugs and you have a scar that you get to show off to the ladies.

I had a single surgery on two hernias. The only incision was a small one just under my naval. Patched me up, good as new. That was 10 years ago I believe. 

There was a buldge on both sides, just an inch or so away from my peen. It wasn't painful, just ached from time to time and uncomfortable. 

Go to a general practitioner. They will probably refer you to a urologist.

I'm sitting here with an umbilical hernia as I type this... I've known about it since last December... It is to the lower right of my belly button, but I can feel the protrusion (and pop it back in) inside my belly button...

Some days it aches a bit, and I definitely pay attention to it when I am doing heavy lifting, etc. but as long as it doesn't get strangulated I'm probably not going to have surgery on it for a long time...

I'd definitely have a doctor look at it... But from my readings on them, people live with hernias of all types for a long time without getting them repaired... But it does sound like it can turn into a medical emergency pretty rapidly if it ever gets strangulated.

I've got one right now myself.  They found it at my yearly work physical. Mine bothers me from time to time especially after lifting or doing any strenuous work. Gonna have it fixed in November be out of work 6-8 weeks I'm told.

      2025 Panthers Draft Class - Overview

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a good feeney spin move that I never remember big money having. Plus I had forgotten that Charles is Panthers all-time sack leader. I havnt got a read on nic, he's awful young and talented. He talks about effort and wants to stop the run. I need to see him in live action, then maybe its nickname or former panther name time for me.

      Falcons Prank cost a few pennies

      Not trying to be melodramatic but from a corporate standpoint there is a big push for data security and privacy pertaining to personal information.  Someone mentioned in the other thread about suing the kid but the only place there is possible money is him suing the Falcons organization for negligence related to the leaked personal information.   At best, Shedur makes some added bank and the Falcons look like fools while this circus plays out. At worst, he’ll get free credit monitoring for a year or two.

      Shaq Thompson Remains a Free Agent

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I met Shaq at an OTA---if you recall, he was absent until the end due to Washington being on the quarter system. He was very nice--soft spoken--but I was thinking "Linebacker?" As an OLB in a 4-3, he was small.  I did not see 6'0"--I saw 5'10-5'11 tops and maybe 220.  When we converted to a 3-4, that moved him inside and, in my opinion, shortened his career.  He just does not have the frame for ILB duties.  If you watch enough film, you will see that Shaq often was late getting to the hole and tackled from the side a lot.  Morgan and Luke were in the hole square with the LOS and talking on blocks and RBs head on.  Had Shaq met pulling guards and fullbacks in the hole like that, he would not have lasted 4 years. He had a very frail frame.
