Hernia or abdominal muscle strain? Posted: 03-26-08 21:40pm
Two weeks ago I niticed a slight soreness
in my muscle two inches bellow and to the
right of my belly button that goes down to
the groin and as the day went on it got
worse, to the point i couldnt pick up
anything off the floor over 20lbs. The
next day I noticed a ache in my right
testicle and that the left side muscle was
starting to hurt also. I had to push on
the muscles when I coughted to keep it
from hurting. The pain got worse over the
next few day then got better and has been
a dull ache in the right muscle and
occasional ache in the right testicle and
only sometimes hurts on the left side of
my body. lifting stuff hurts and coughing
hurts a little bit. I am overweight so i
really cannot see a bulge or feel one.
Would Hernia pains come in slowly or would
they be just BAM, pain? I dont have health
insurance as of right now so i cant afford
to go see a doctor about this. I also have
been expierencing kidney pain but i think
thatcomes from something else. Thanx

Hi and Welcome Posted: 03-27-08 06:30am
Hi there and welcome to the site.
I have had a couple hernias, I am not a
doctor but it sounds like it is a hernia.
Is there a clinic that you can go to, a
place that will see you on a sliding fee
or no cost fee based on your income to get
a diagnosis?
You can look into social services most
states (if you are from the USA) have
clinics such as the one I mentioned above.
If it is indeed a hernia please be aware
of the complications from mesh used in
hernia repairs.
The pain does get worse at night, at least
it did for me.
What kidney problems are having?
If you'd like to pm me feel free to do so.
