what does a hernia feel like?
 

Last night i lifted a rather large rod iron thing and it had to of been well over 200 pounds of rod iron

now this after noon i got this real sharp pain in my abdomen and my balls a lil swollen and and it feels like i just got kicked in the nuts

i already got an appointment tommrow

It feels just like what you described.

Sounds about right

Go get that checked out, Sounds bad.

i had that exact same shit a long time ago... i never went to go see anyone either... it just went away. my balls swelled up good too...

bro not raggin on you at all or anything but been doing some reading and it does happen alot more in rather large guys ( im a large guy aswell ) and it says takes 24-48 hours to heal if it is nothing major

I understand. When it happened to me I was lifting an old pool wall. Had to weigh close to 200lbs or so...

Next morning my balls swelled up to like a softball. Took a few days to go away. Then the pain lasted about a month or so...

I was young and stupid at the time. Should of gotten it looked at...

Start buying extra large briefs..






j/k :winkwink:

Not sure if that is a hernia. There are 3 types. I had an inguinal hernia repaired just over 1 year ago. It was likely from jujitsu training. Basically my intestine was protruding through a tear in my abdomen wall so i could feel a slight buldge a few inches below my waistline on the right side. i could push the intestine back in (reducable hernia) so it wasn't imparative that I fix it right away. I opted for surgery so I could go back to weight training without worring about making it worse.

A hernia is a protrusion of an organ or tissue out of the body cavity in which it normally lies. By far the most common hernias develop in the abdomen, when a weakness in the abdominal wall evolves into a localized hole, or "defect", through which the protrusion occurs. These may present either with pain at the site, a visible or palpable lump, or in some cases by more vague symptoms resulting from pressure on an intraabdominal organ which has become "stuck" in the hernia. Fatty tissue usually enters a hernia first, but it may be followed by or accompanied by a segment of intestine or other intraabdominal organ. It is generally advisable to repair hernias in a timely fashion, in order to prevent complications which include intestinal blockage, gangrene, and death. Most hernias can be surgically repaired. Recovery rarely requires long-term changes in lifestyle.

it is bad.. painfull and as you wrote it

it can be intensely painful at times.. other times just a dull ache.

I know it would feel a ton better if I layed down on my back.

I had mine patched up via outpatient surgery in 95 or 96.. took a couple hours and I drove home..

the mesh they used was supposedly experimental and they said it would last 5 or so years. no problems yet.

I guess one of the bad things that can happen is the hernia pops out and strangulates fuckin yer shit up big time lol

luckily i don't know how hernia feels like... hope u're gonna be ok and good u have an appointment with the dock! :)

dude, next time if you are gonna lift a heavy stuff wear a tight underwear.

no shit wikipedia fucktard
