Pretty sure I have a hernia :(

[Lee]

Ive had this weird pressure-like spot on my stomach about an inch left of my belly button, and Ive ignored it because it simply felt like a strained muscle. But today when I was at work, we were cleaning up at the end of the day and I sneezed and I got a sharp stabbing pain in the same spot on my stomach, it hurt so bad I hit my knees and couldnt stand up for a good minute or so. Its about an hour later and my stomach still has some soreness. Should I go straight to a doc or should I wait a little while and see if the pain goes away?

you can try to push it back in if the muscles not to bad torn in your abodomen.

and then let the muscle heal don't do anything stupid at all.

or just go to a doc.

many times I thought I had a hernia only for the Doc to say "no its just a micro tear of muscle fibers ( much like any other muscle) or just a strain."

As far as the belly button area, MOST MALES are born with a congenital weakness there. It feel very much like an indentation or possible void. Its just a weak link but NOT a hernia in most cases. It can develop into one based on poor lifting and daily activity.

Just make sure to treat you abs with care and your will be fine.

yea im taking the week off of lifting and taking it easy at work, hopefully its just a bad strain or minor tear. we'll see.

my hernia was around my private area,


needed surgery as it can cause serious issues

go to the doc. . .i had a small one over top of my belly button. . .got it fixed a few years ago. . .no big deal. . .i was back in the gym on light duty in a few days and back to full force in 3 or 4 weeks. . .

problem is i dont have medical insurance so i cant afford any type of surgery if it really is a hernia.

if you're under 30, good blue cross insurance costs less than $100 per month. . .if you're spending money on "supplements" that you ought to be spending on other things first (e.g., health insurance), shame on you. . .
