went to the doc
« on: February 28, 2006, 08:47:50 AM »
welp just got back from the specialist... its mixed news lol. this dude is a specialist here for hernias and he cant tell if i have one or not... from my symptoms he says it may b very very early signs of a hernia but he cant operate until he sees a lump or can feel something in the "ball cough test"
he also thinks i might of torn a muscle or tendon down in my pelvic area but hes not sure.. so now i get to take a break from workin out legs for 6 weeks to see if it gets better or worse.

so i guess its good news it MIGHT b just a torn or stretched ligament or muscle but if it is a hernia ill still have to get it taken care of.. he just told me he cant do the surgery on me without knowing for sure it is a hernia

on a side note i now believe site injecting works to an extent... its been 3 weeks since i worked out legs and im still pinnin the quad... my quads look almost better then they did and are gettin that nice sweep to them *shrugs*

If the specialist can't tell, then I doubt it's a hernia.

Sounds like something strained....mostly likely a muscle or ligament.

I'd take it easy and stretch the area.....see how it recovers.  No heavy movements.

I did have someting similar happen before and it only turned out to be an inflamation.  Antibiotics cured it.

Be safe, no squats or DL for a while.  I'd probably use this as a joint healing/recooperative period.  Glad it wasn't a hernia for your sake. ;)

^Yes.  That sounds exactly like a hernia.  Exactly.  Go back and have him look at that lump.  You know if something's not right with your body.  Tell him.

yea makin the apointment today... its strange if i dont work hard it doesent hurt and doesent pop out so im goin to have to workout or do something that strains me to get it to show up so he can see it. as soon as i sit down though it pushes it back in and it stays in.. crazy
