bro,

you would notice a lump that is semi solid protruding from or causing pain in your groin area. give it time to see if the pain subsides. I had an inguenial hernia last year and a hydroseal do a little reaserch on webmd the site is pretty good. Usually you know when you have a hernia because there is some protrusion through you stomach wall in your abdomen or around your groin area. It doesnt sound like you have one and I hope you dont the surgery depending on how bad the hernia is a mother f'er

good luck
