Hernia

[specster]

Is it possible for a hernia to resolve (heal) itself. I have a small tear in lower abdominal wall. Had one before and got the operation. (over 20 years ago). This one is on the same side.

What can happen if I don't get an operation and keep training?

I WOULDN'T SWEAT IT. I HAD A HERNIA WHEN I WAS A YEAR OLD, GOT ANOTHER AT 29. I INSTALL BOILERS FOR WORK, MY PARTNER AND I BRING THEM UP AND DOWN STAIRS, THEY WEIGH 800 - 1200 POUNDS! EVERY NOW AND THEN I FEEL IT RIP SLIGHTLY BUT IT IS STILL NOT BIG ENOUGH TO BOTHER ME. IF YOU DON'T GET IT REPAIRED IT WILL NOT HEAL ON ITS OWN. IF YOU WANT TO AVOID SURGERY, TRY TO AVOID DOING TO MANY PULLING EXERCISES, THEY SEEM TO SET IT OFF FOR ME. GOOD LUCK
