Hernia

[Testify]

TweetAnyone here ever had one? I think I may. i was deadlifting a week ago and I felt a twinge in my lower abdomen. At that point I reduced the weight and continued, but I could still feel something (not pain, but a pull/tightness sensation) in that area. So at that point I ended the work out. Actually I did some situps, and then ended it.

But its a week later and I can still feel that "something" in that spot. again, it doesn't hurt . . . but I've been wondering if it might be a small tear. I've neve had a hernia before . . . would I know it if I did (would it be very painful)? Should I worry about it?

TweetGo to the doc and have it checked out. If you do have some tearing, you DEFINATELY do not want to make it worse.

TweetTwo types of abdominal hernias: 1. Reducable - can be pushed back in 2. Non-Reduable. Reducable hernias may not require treatment unless it becomes symptomatic, however, non-reducable hernias require surgery immediatly. If you notice any changes such as: cant have a bowl movment, extream pain when "bearing down", sweating, vomitting, confusion/dizzyness go straight to the ER. It could become strangulated and the blood supply could be cut-off possably causing gangrene (worst case). So in short, go get it checked out.

TweetI had a reducable hurnia: But it required surgery, a little thing that looked like a bad mitton. I don't know if anyone has played that game. But it is a little cone shaped thing they push through your abdomin to fill the torn tissues, cover it with a mesh so tissue grows back over it. I had a 6" incision on my lower abdomin, I was doing squats in high school, coach kept telling me to up the weights. I did, and the last time I added weight I never made it back up. I had a knot sticking through my shorts, and it wasn't a boner!lol. It will never go away on its on if it is a hurnia, they will need to fix it bro. They now have a procedure where they make 2 small incisions and fix it. Supposed to be alot better. When I do heavy weights I feel it pushing out. I also have one right above my belly button. not bad. I m just very careful not to put a big strain on it.

TweetHopefully its probably a strained muscle .I had that it feels like a tear but I would still be cautious and see a doc .
