Poke around your midsection and see if you can feel anything weird coming out of your muscles. Look up what a hernia is and you should be able to find it if you have one.
You might have had a minor muscle tear, or maybe not.. |

You might have had a minor muscle tear, or maybe not.. I did a some poking around and tried to give myself a hernia test and nothing felt really amiss, I also squatted down this morning and strained to see if I could recreate the feeling and nothing felt out of sorts so I was curious as to how the after affects would be in the event of a herniation. |

Had hernia for 6 years before pain started. Lifted heavy my whole life

Currently have one, no pain, surgery next week. Had it for 6-8 months (not knowing it) but lifting for a couple months made it more noticeable. You will see it on the side of your lowest ab muscles/groin, mine just looked like I had asymmetrically "fat" on that side of my groin, but I could push it in with my hands and blow it out with my diaphragm-that's how I knew it was a hernia.
If you look symmetric down there, you are probably OK unless it was a bilateral and they both pushed out, but you said left side. |

Being in uncharted waters, trying to decide whether to go to the doctor.
From the replies, looks like I need to be seen. Thanks For the replies. |

You might just have tweaked a muscle. I did that with squats a while back, and it felt like my left nut was going to explode. However, there was no hernia. Unfortunately, I couldn't squat for a long time. Hopefully the doc doesn't find anything.

Just got back from the Dr. and I do indeed have a hernia. Next stop is the surgeon's office.

My hernia never hurt....until it was surgically repaired. Did "open" surgery with mesh. It's been about 13 months now. The sharp pain from a sneeze is starting to subside, but its still noticeable.

If you do anything active you will need more time. Surgery was outpatient, out by noon. The pain killers constipate you and you don't want to strain on the john after the surgery, so be sure to take stool softeners PRIOR to surgery!!! |

Anything strenuous could strain the hernia more. And opening the wound up more will mean a longer recovery time, and larger possibility of another hernia in the future. I would start a good diet, and wait until after the recovery time of the surgery to re-start lifting. You're off season. Act like it, or you could hurt yourself bad. |

Good Luck Maynard, I am on Day 7 of Recovery, its getting much better (as far as daily life/work usage-still can't lift much). Day 2 & 3 sucked the worst then steady improvement. Just sucks to sit around that much but its the only way for a few days! I had open, i can't tell you all the ins and outs of whats best, my surgeon made it sound like even with mesh, laproscopic had more recurrence than open surgery, so I went with the "little more recovery, should be a better end result" method he suggested. I know a small amount of folks have issues with mesh eventually, but as a whole it's supposed to be worth that risk for the extra insurance against recurring hernias. |

I'm on week three of recovery from having two inguinal hernias repaired. Both had mesh.
I had the same feelings as you did op; hurt for a few days then took a few off and when I went back to doing some ab work they started to hurt again. I though I had just pulled a muscle but a friend at work told me to put my hand on the area and cough. When I did I felt a bulge and made an appointment to see the surgeon. I don't do anything manually stressing at work so I only took a week off. Surgeon says not to lift anything more than ten pounds for six weeks then I can start back gradually. It sucks but you'll get through it. Good luck |

Surgery scheduled for this Thursday, scheduled to be a robotic procedure which will allow for the use of a better mesh and be less invasive.
Surgery consultation went well, confidence is high with this surgeon. He really seemed to know his stuff and claimed thousands of hernia surgeries. Down time will be 8 weeks until I can lift anything over 50 lbs. |

Hope you don't get sick from pain meds, my doc told me he only used ibuprofen for his hernia--Fuck that. Its only Norco/Vicodin in my case but that helped much more than the Ibuprofen for me.

That don't always come on time after general anesthetic, just FYI, don't OD on the Milk of Magnesia, as it soon may not be safe to unclench, or even sleep for that matter 
General Anesthetic kind of shuts your whole body function down a bit, takes a while for it all to rally back correctly. ETA: Rest, Time and Patience now, that's what you need the most of, give it 2 more days to get "over the hump" |

Hows that recovery going? The robotic surgery was better then I had hoped. The 3 incisions were above the navel and very small. I'm back to work after two weeks recovering and looking forward to getting back into the gym on Monday. I kicked the pain pills after 3 days and honestly probably could have went back to work on the 4th day after surgery. The robotic option for hernia repair is absolutely awesome compared to the stories I've heard about how they used to previously repair these types of hernias. I have to admit I'm a little leery about lifting heavy after this and considering a different direction in my training. Thanks for asking!

Make sure you give it plenty of time to heal before doing anything remotely heavy. With proper healing and the mesh hopefully you won't have anymore issues....on that side. My doc said I'm at an elevated risk of having one on the left since I already had one on the right. He made it sound like it was just a matter of when not if. :-(

15 Sept is when he said I can do whatever I want as far as lifting. I'm at a 40lb restriction right now. I asked the surgeon right before the surgery if he would just go ahead and install mesh the right side also. He laughed at me and said it doesn't work that way.
The prospect of another hernia is the reason I'm looking at a different regimen. I like lifting heavy but don't want to have this happen again, especially anytime soon. If anyone is around the NW Ohio area and is in need of an outstanding surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Jeffrey Wisser. http://www.srpsprofessionals.org/srps_physician_view.aspx?id=755625 |
