Where can I go for a Hernia (Doctors not taking it seriously)
4 months out of the gym and im getting sick of these retarded doctors. First ones did an mri and said nothing wrong just an abdominal strain which is complete bs because it literally has barley gotten any better 4 months of rest. So i set an appointment up with another doctor and they made me wait 1 month and 2 weeks ... I was scheduled to go in next week but today the nurse or someone called me and tells me the provider is not accepting my insurance anymore so they're gonna have to reschedule it to September. Anywhere I can go to get this surgery over with

Sounds like you need a new doctor, or at least a second opinion.

If your in the US it's easy. If your clinic has more than one doctor working there just ask to see another doctor. Ive done it.

Ive asked for 3 different doctors. First two doctors said they're not accepting new patients.... finally got this 3rd one and they do this to me. Is there any place I can just walk in and have it done. I live in the U.S

There are all kinds of walk in clinics if you live in a town that has some. I do not live in a big town but we have a couple here. They are mainly for people with no insurance and offer discounted rates, might be a quicker solution than waiting for an appointment.

How are you so sure you need surgery if a mri came up negative?

Well that sucks, it is only $75 here for a rub down, less at a massage parlor. I blame Obamacare.

Only choice is another doctor/clinic. Nothing anyone here can do if it's a hernia. You can wear a wrap like this. It may help temporarily.

Being able to afford GH is one thing, being able to get REAL GH is another unless you can get an RX.
If it hurts when you lift heavy dont lift heavy and I'm thinking if it's been been hurting for quite a while I would still persue trying to find out what it is because you don't want to be lifting and have it push through the stomach.
If you think it might be a strain then stop lifting for a couple of week, it wont kill you and then work into it SLOW. Give it time to heal. You might need to even take a month or more off. Yeah it sucks but it's better than getting worse.
I had to lay of 100% for over 3 months due to eye surgery and then shoulder surgery. It's just a speed bump in life.

some of those middle eastern doctors, depending on which country we are referring to (I'm specifically thinking of Afghanistan) barely have two years of college and call themselves a medical doctor....

Because Afghanistan is an Islamic nation which is why people mistake them for Middle eastern people. See I am from Iraq and we laugh when people call afghans and Pakistani people middle eastern. Sad part is they actually believe they are middle eastern as well lol. Anything past Iran is Central Asia. If you go in the deep parts of Afghanistan their is many Afghans who you would mistake for Asians. Chinky eyes ...etc

I could be wrong with calling Afghanistan the "middle east" but I'm operating from more of a religious perspective where the Muslim world is primarily thought of as being in the Middle East.
While we were living there, the expat population seemed to refer to our location as being in the middle east. Not once do I remember anyone saying we were in Central Asia.

As TR said, "middle eastern" is more commonly used as a cultural description rather than geographical. Obviously nobody can argue about where Afghanistan is located geographically, but I agree than from a cultural/religious standpoint it is best described as middle eastern.
OP...good luck getting the pain figured out, hernia or not if its been hurting four months then there's something going on that doctors haven't figured out yet.
