new title: who's had a hernia?
don't have health insurance, maybe someone's had the same condition so i can save some cash, but i'll probably end up going anyway.
a quarter inch up from the top of my navel in between the two ab muscles is a semi-soft(not hard) lump that feels about about a quarter to a half inch wide and long. the wierd thing is(this gets gross) i can feel it from inside my navel and if i give it some pressure it empties with a feeling similar to a big pimple emptying, i can actually feel whatever is inside the lump being squeezed out(sorry for the detail but i assume its important) i've only done this emptying thing twice cuz it comes right back the next day.
is this a hernia? i've heard those hurt or are accompanied by moderate discomfort but i can't even feel this thing.
any ideas before i head off to the doc?
thnx
