    hernia help

    I've had a hernia for a long time...since I was 17, now im 23. My doctor said to keep an eye on it and if it ever hurt to see a doctor, but I've never had any pain. I am a breakdancer, and recently I've been really wanting to flaten my stomach and get some abs, but this lump in my stomach doesn't make it easy. Are there any special exercises I can do to help it? Or is surgery the only option. Does sleeping on your back help the hernia? Does sleeping on your back help flaten your stomach? Sorry I'm new to this.

    Thanks

    Harley

    i dont know if there's a lot you can do for it - when i squat, i get a pain about 2" below my waistline, just about 1" off to the left of center. feels like a ballpoint pen being jabbed into my abdomen - common sign of an inguinal hernia. thats why i dont squat anymore.

    a hernia is not fixable by exercise, from what i understand. the best fix is surgery. especially if it gets bad and can't be pushed back in - then surgery is of immediate concern. i learned a little bit about hernias when my dad had triple hernia surgery.

    So if I have the surgery what will recovery be like? Do you ever go back to 100%, or will you always feel weaker in the stomach or what?

    You'll go back to 100% and pretty quickly also. Surgery has come a long way in the past few years I've had 2 hernia surgeries and I'm fine I recommend getting the surgery and getting it out of the way.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

    Going in for a double surgery in 12 days...

    I blew mine out in Nov-04, it didn't bother me then, but is a workout killer now...

    From someone who has had it hanging over me for a long time...

    It will be a relief to be done, and get back to my old self

    It's your decision!?
    Good luck

    Oh.. can you teach me to Breakdance again?

    get it fixed....its the only way to get rid of the protrusion and the surgery really isnt a big deal (as surgeries go)....you will be back to 100% in no time....i had inguinal hernia repair and it NEVER bothers me....actually i forget i even had the surgery till i see a post like this.

    my advice...get it fixed
    My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

    When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us.
