HE IS PRETTY STUPID IF YOU ASK ME...HE DID NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS...HE ASKED IF I WAS ON JUICE AND I SAID YES HIS REPLY WAS "THAT STUFF HAS HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS, LOOK AT HULK HULGAN." i WAS LIKE WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN? ANYWAYS i WILL KNOW FOR SURE AFTER THE XRAYS. | ||

i have three hernia's right know bro. what it sounds like you have is somrthing they call a hiatus hernia. i have one of those. i also have one close to my groin on the left side of my body. one behind my belly button. and one under my rib cage. what a hernia is when yoour intestines push through your muscles. it is really not that serious. i have a buddy that was born with one behind his belly button. hernia's can be caused by strenght training and just plain heavy lifting or just simple coughing. this may seem funny but the hernia i have near my groin was caused by me coughing while i was bent over the sink brushing my teeth. sounds stupid hey. well anyways the procedure i believe requires some sort of mesh that is applied over the muscle to push it back into place (internal, operation) i hope this helps bro. | ||

I can tell you from experience that if it is a hernia it's no joke. I guess it depends on how bad it is, but I had a double hernia operation when I was 18 the doctor told me it was from lifting to heavy...don't know if thats what it was really from but I was out of commision for a little while. I had one on each side right above my groin. They went in and stiched some mesh material to my muscles to hold them together while they healed. I was very uncomftorable..I had to stay bent over a little until the muscles stretched back out. I really hope that yours is not very severe. But I would def. recommend taking a break until you know for sure, so it doesn't get worse. When I first started to feel pain some friends told me to let it rest, but I figured it was just a pulled muscle or something so I kept lifting and just got worse. Hope this helps a little. Keep us posted when you find out for sure. | ||

zeteo, not to put you on the spot, but it is hiatal hernia. and i can gaurentee you it was not a doctor who told you they are not serious. your friend was born with one because it is most commonly a congenital problem. but doctors recommend that you have it surgically repaired especially if you are young. here is what will happen if you don't. your intestine, which is pushing through your thoracic cavity, not your muscles, will twist and lose blood circulation. once this happens, that particular portion of intestine will die and you stand the chance of worsening your condition. as far as inguinal hernia, if you did indeed have on, you would get it repaired. it is not impressive to have a big buldge of intestine right above your penis. chix do not dig this!! plus you stand the chance of your intestines sliding down through your inguinal rings and filling your ballsack until it dangles between your knees. chix may dig this, but i wouldn't. so if you have a hernia, it is a painful situation, with painful surgery, but it beats years of light duty and gaseous pains. | ||

thank you for correcting me on my pronunciation of hiatial hernia. in regards to being not to serious in my case i was told that there was a bulge near my groin and that it was not that serious yet. and that it would be operated on in about 2-3 years. and as for your comment on whether or not i have a hiatial hernia or not? why would i say that i have one. it's nothing to brag about for me anyways. it might be for you. and the only way they knew that i had a hiatial hernia because i was having acid reflux. thanks | ||

That's not a hiatal hernia - wrong place and no acid reflux. There was a post on this a week ago, its a problem common in guys with low body fat. Are you cutting? check here, none of these causes of rib cage pain sound like anything to fuck around with: http://my.webmd.com/content/asset/adam_symptoms_rib_cage_pain | ||

I had surgery done on a intregral hernia (left side by my groin) last december. Ive had it for a while and it was from when I used to wrestle back in highschool. Anyways, the surgery was no big deal...the hardest part ws after the surgury (and this will probably sound really fuckin retarded) but the hardest thing was pissing the next few days. I mean it literally took me 3 hours the first night i got back to piss! The doc said that since the surgery was so close to the bladder and the anesthsia(sp?) was the reason why it was so damn hard. but other then that the pain was not too bad and i was back to lifting 4 weeks later. And ive just about gained all the weight that i lost. good luck bro peace | ||

I have had two hernia operations. Both of them were just under the belt line. The next day I hurt like a bitch! But it really didn't take long for it to heal completely. Good luck to you. | ||
