normal people, like me. Member 2325, 550 posts	Kind of asking for medical input, which is something I tend not to do on the internet, but anyway... Have discomfort/odd sensation in my right abdomen, if you draw a direct line between the hip bone and the belly button, it's on that line nearer the bellybutton. Just wondering if it's actually more likely a strain, I can't feel anything when I prod the region. Figured there likely would be a bit of collective knowledge. Seeing doc on Thursday anyway.

hernia returning due to hobby of patient Member 1306, 1907 posts SQ 270, BP 202.5, DL 340 812.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq	If theres no protruding lump then I don't think it would be a hernia. Mine felt like a very small balloon under then fat and i could push it in, but then it would come popping back out by itself or if i coughed. Probs just tight hip flexers in your case.

I have one on my lower left abdomen. I had a lump, but pushed it back in. Surgeon gave me the choice of surgery. I couldnt afford the time off work so I still have it. Causes me very few problems now but will I will probably get it meshed back together at some stage.

I have a little bobble in my groin that protrudes when I cough, lean backwards or contract my abs hard but the doctor i went to said there was no hernia it's just weak abs and a risk of one

The problem with the hernia is the protrusion, but that is caused by a hole or tear in your abdominal wall. Without the tear you cant have the protrusion, they dont repair the protrusion, they repair the hole. If you had a lump, pushed it back in, you still have the hole. I have ZERO idea if any of you have hernia. I know I have one because the doctor told me so.

I know with my hernia it just worse as time passed, until the point that the protrusion was in my nutsack. Can they heal without surgery? I think I have heard that they can.

Hey mate, my name is Paul Dudley Member 632, 3628 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 282.5 637.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	I had a hernia, lower right side, didnt give me any grief bit got it sorted sharpish. Keyhole surgery (3 little scars) and a bit of mesh later and voila... right as rain. I'm like a s**t wolverine. Recovery about 1 week before you can start light again and for ne about 4 before I was confident to go 'heavy'.
