Hernia Left Side. Posted: 10-22-03 20:26pm
I just had a hernia repaired and it was
there about two months with no pain at
all, it just felt like I was growing a
third testicle.Well I had it repaired on
tuesday oct 21. Everything went well, not
much pain, the second day although I never
noticed the first day,where my stitches
are and my testicle on the surgery side is
quite large I figured this is normal due
to the plug and patch, has anyone else had
similar swelling, this is my first
surgery.

Hi hernia repair,
i don't know what it feels like to have a
hernia but maybe you can help me.
The right side of my groin is tender to
the touch. I've had this tenderness for
awhile. I lifted a coffin a few weeks
ago and felt some strange feelings coming
from between my butt cheeks. I've never
felt anything like that before.
I'm afraid to go to the doctors for fear
what i'll find out. My wife thinks I
have a bladder infection because my urine
stinks bad.
Can you please tell me how to tell if I
have a hernia. Thanks

I'm not a doctor but it does not sound to
me like you have a hernia, from my
understanding, if you have a hernia in
that area, it is usually a break in the
wall that separates your inside item's
from that area, I guess that your insides
will start coming through the little break
in the wall, in my case it felt like a
fatty tissue, but did not hurt when I
applied any pressure,
in my case it was just that a fatty
tissue, I was told it could be part of my
intestines poking through, but if that
would have been the case it would have
hurt when pressure was applied. The only
real way to find out is to be examined by
a doctor, I was afraid to go and waited
too. But I went and that's the best
advice I can give, I own a moving company
and have moved furniture for 23 years and
have never had what you described happen
lifting anything. After my hernia, they
removed my staples in 3 days and I was
back to work on the phones only in 1 week,
and back to normal in 3 weeks.
