possible hernia??

[joebig]

Hey guys I need your advise. I dunno if I have a minor hernia or something else but for the last couple weeks I have had this annoying pain in my lower back right where my kidneys are. Just recently the pain is getting worse and now feels like I got kicked in the balls as well. I feel around my lower stomach all the time for lumps if I had a hernia but never find any. Could this maybe be a hernia or something else? I been lifting pretty light for the last 6 weeks or so while I been off so I havent been doing any straining. Any ideas????? THANKS!!

Sorry bro, I dont. I thought I had a hernia and got it checked out. Turned out it was a swollen gland and just a minor ab strain.

If going to the doc is an option, I'd do it ASAP, especially since it's been going on so long and it's getting worse.

bro i was the reverse of jaywooly, last november i was convinced i just had swollen glands (i was sick at the time) but went to the doc and he confirmed it was a hernia....

i can tell you that i definitely would get the kicked in the balls feeling especially after working out... the worst part was the time off, they made me wait 10 weeks from diagnoses to surgery and it just does a mind job on you and i was afraid to lift heavy... but recovery time is very fast and i was back to pre-surgery weight for squats within six weeks...

go get it checked... oh and i can tell you that after diagnoses the doc put my hand on it and told me to cough and it was REALLY obvious, it would pop out... LOL, in hindsight i can't believe i thought it was just swollen glands...

I had hernia surgery a few years ago...but it doesn't sound like you have one to be honest...I would go to the Doctoer to confirm this though..

I thought hernias only happened in the front.... Can you have one in your back or can hernias give you pain in your back?

Tony Kemp, that is why I said, I doubted he had a hernia....hernia is actually the intestinal wall rupturing causing muscles them to bulge out when you strain...whenever I lifted anything over ten pounds...I had a big bulge the size of a softball bulge out in my abdomen area...I doubt he has a hernia...

have you been checked for a vericocele - they also cause that kicked in balls feeling with pain up to the abdomen.
