Hernia?

[Kahn]

I was doing dropsets and wrote a check my ass couldn't cash. I jumped from 315 to 365 and strained my back. I figured I was out for a couple weeks and I can do deads and squat again but I still feel like I got kicked in the balls. No joke. Just like a nutshot.Could I have herniated the muscle somwhere like deeper or inside and not gotten a hernia? I'm not familiar with hernias but it has been four weeks I if I sit straight up I feel like I got kicked. It doesn't hurt allthe time, just when I sit up of sit up and lean forward.

I HAD ONE REPAIRED WHEN I WAS 17.

MINE WAS JUST ABOVE THE NAVEL....AND IT PINCHED AND BURNED.

NOW ONE IN THE LOWER REGION WOULD SUCK....DID YOU GIVE YOURSELF THE OLD SELF CHECK? THE FINGER UP IN THE NUT SACK AND COUGH? I AM A RETARD ABOUT GOING TO THE DOC AS WELL....BUT THAT SOUNDS CRAPPY.

I had 2 when I was younger, similar situations trying to lift too heavy, they each of them were above my pubic area, all the doc did was like what was said in the post above, held her hand over thhat area and said cough, there was a distinct, raised area and I was in for the opperation very soon. I wish you the best.

I strained my inguinal region at work and had similar pains although it wasn't bulging.

For about 4 weeks I would get a sharp pain and shooting pain into the right teste.....to make a long story short one day at work I finally felt it tear, and had the "bulge" finally.

Had surgery a couple months ago. The first week REALLY sucked!

Just had a bilateral hernia, inguinal, fixed. I felt like someone was grabbing them, also one day I was doing ab work and gut "stuck" I tried to straighten out but it pulled on the boys. Fix it while it is small.

A few years ago I had a sports accident which gave me two LARGE (I mean 2½" long) inguinal hernias.

Instead of opting for the type of surgery where they only do a small incision, I opted for the 5" long slicing of my abdominals, because the surgeon assured me that this is the only way I would ever have that region as strong as before. He also stated that this particular surgery is not performed much anymore.

I failed to ask why that was, assuming the reason was from scarring.

It turns out the reason was PAIN.

AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyways, it turns out that I was never able to deadlift heavy again anymore. My abdominal region is much weaker than before my injury, contrary to all the surgeon's promises.

Good luck with that bro.

Thanks guys, I did the self check but found nothing at all(except my balls). I coughed and prodded and had a generally good time with myself but could find nothing like a bump, bulge or painful spot. I've seen hernias(the visable ones of course) and have nothing like that. I hope its not about to tear cause that would seriously derail lifting, maybe forever. I was wondering if anybody knew more about the layers or some wierd shit I didn't know about. I'll definitely get it while its small, I know about that, too. Thanks again.

WELL, IT'S GOOD YOU'VE GOT BALLS!

IT'S MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR MYSELF MOST OF THE TIME, KAHN!

Had my hernia about 6 months ago. It did feel like I got kicked in the nuts. They usually hurt about 70% of the time. Shave above the ball sack and if it's a hernia the one side will be puffy. its hard to notice if not shaved. I had to have a mesh screen put over my intestines because the hernia was very large. Very quick recovery time. Still bothers me sometimes where the incesion was made.

I had the same thing back in 2004. They are painful. Sounds like what you might have. I would definitely get them checked. I was told that if one of them bulges and gets impinged that you could die without emergency surgery. Good luck bro, hope it's just a pulled muscle.

I had a bi lateral inguinal as well. The mesh was bumping into the nerve and it felt like electricity in my left nut. Good times

Recovering from surgery

I just had double inguinal surgery one on Friday, I injurd myself 3 weeks agoat work and didn't know I had 2 hernias, I would definitely get it looked at by a doctor, because I waited so long and kept on working it got worse, but if you have a hernia you just will not get better , it will simply keep on getting worst till you can't take it any,ore. God bless you bro.

Go see a doctor, thats the only way to know for sure.
