**USfighterFC** · 01-23-2004, 03:34 PM

tell me what that is.

**Devourer** · 01-23-2004, 03:38 PM

its a tear in the abdominal wall that requires surgery to close. most likely caused by heavy lifting. if left unchecked possibility of intestines pushing through the abdomen and then you need to have surgery.

So wouldnt you have internal bleeding right now? Man go to the doctor and get that check out it sounds pretty bad

**Devourer** · 01-23-2004, 03:41 PM

ive got a bump under the skin. not even visible. on my right side second ab down. cannot be pushed in. not painful. abdominal stress seems to make it bigger.

I don't know, but if you have hernia, doesn't one nut hang lower than the other? It may be a different kind of hernia.

i had a hernia right above my dong and it never hurt or anything i got surgery about 3 months ago and i was back in the gym doing light weight in about 2 weeks

i had a tear in my lower abdominals a few months ago and it did not require surgery. I did have to wear this goofy squat brief type thing that came up about half way up my abs though. I was told that surgery is not always needed. I would ask your doctor about this if he says its not too severe. I however did not have any herniation and the only sign of my injury was mild bruising from the muscle tear and it was quite painful for a while. ...... so good luck hopefully its not too serious

No..Generally every male's testicles are not symmetrical..Meaning, one hangs a bit lower than the other..

Anadrol ..Glad to see you have made a Docotr's appointment..It does sound like you have a hernia, the only thing that makes me think it could possibly be something else is that you said it can't be pushed in..Have you tried grabbing the lump to see if you can move it around? If so, it could possibly be a mass..Either way, it needs to be looked at ASAP..

I was waiting to see how long it would take Doc to chime in on this one...

Anyways good luck with the whole appt bro. Hernia's are no joke. My cousin had a double hernia and he couldnt even walk for awhile it hurt so bad. He was a bodybuilder so most likely it was from heavy lifting.

I had a rupture in the fascia..left an enlongated ridge in the lower abd..just above my "junk"...I thought it was a hernia...these types if injuries are no joke. Glad to see you are getting it checked out and fixed up.
