Any new news on the pain? You may consider getting an ultrasound done. Hernias will usually show up (my did not though). Just for a point of reference, my hernia was not diagnosed until I saw the FIFTH doctor. It took a while to get in to see him but he found my hernia in 2 seconds. It pays to see a specialist or experienced surgeon.
Good luck

going to the Dr. today at 1. Very nervous. Very deperessed. Haven't worked out really for 2 weeks. Don't feel like going to the Dr. and hearing what he has to tell me. I am upset and shakey because i have so much anxiety. Not about pain or surgery (if I need it). But about the fact that he will tell me I can't lift weights for several weeks. I already feel smally, skinny and weak and I think I have lost some weight (or muscle) even.
Umm so yeah
That is a hard response to follow up to. Try to keep a positive outlook on things... in the grand scheme of things what is a few weeks in a lifetime of training? You know more then anybody that you haven't atrophied if at all. And any losses will be quickly regained with your work ethic.

I will keep you update.
On the flip side.....if I need surgery. I will have to drain my savings account since I refuse to use my insurance and go to some hack or resident that is going to do a chop shop job.

...Insurance is that bad?
When I destroyed my arm, I was able to find an arm and shoulder specialist
who had some local pro athletes on his resume, and a confident and aggressive
rehabilitation attitude, who worked under my insurance umbrella... I was actually his first client with my particular INS coverage...
In other words he worked an application with the insurance company,
to become approved by them..
Worked for me -
Just got back! The people at the ER are assholes. They would have had me cut right open. The Doc said that I don't have hernia. My pain is to high for Inguinal Hernia and to low for smoe other type of hernia. He said I have a pulled abdominal muscle and it is the swelling of that muscle which is causing the lump and giving me the pain when I move, twist or breathe in heavily. he said i can train upper body within reason. No abs, no squats, no legs, no ballistic lifting for a week though and if it still hurts come right back. I just have to take some anti-infamitory and rest my abdominals.
And to follow up to that he ended by saying.....Do lots of stretching! Fucking A!! That is two years in a row that I have had two injuries that both were caused by not being serious about my flexability program. Last year after the knee I sore to be more serious about stretching and I was for a few weeks until it took a back seat. Over the summer I got back into it big time. Once again I dropped it. And now another injury. I have to be really really serious about this now. I am no longer fucking around with my flexability training.

Well, his diagnosis is in line with what both the interist that I train and another surgeon that I train said. They both said the ER is screwy. Also, this guy is one of the best in NYC for hernia operations.
I'm hip with the second opinion of course, but you do what you want...
But your flexibility work can't suck that bad -
Two years in a row?
(Maybe you're just getting old) -

yes, I think i am getting old.
i am hip with the second opinion also. I will go with it and see what happens. he said if i am still in pain to come back in. ofcourse i am always a little worried.
getting old? i know that you are right with that one. it is tough to maintain a high intensity of lifting year after year. I already know that I can not handle the same type of volume that I used to be able to in the past. I have to plan my periodization out with more frequent recovery time.
OMG that is great news! Don't get me wrong, I'm sorry you hurt but DAMN.......at least you don't have to go under the knife.It's a good thing you don't listen to every doctor and seek different opionions

yea. Even if this guy was going to perform surgery it wouldn't be under the knife. He does it all laparascopicly and said that the recovery time is only 2-3 days. He said he has done a bunch of pro athletes and got them back on the field with in days and he did some other guy that finished top 100 in the Ironman triathlon only 3 days before the meet!!
Good news, P (relatively speaking, of course). I'm not, however, buying that sh*t about you being old.
Yeah, my hernia guy told me that...P-funk said:yea. Even if this guy was going to perform surgery it wouldn't be under the knife.

I still didn't pick up a weight for three weeks though -
Hey, that's good news P. Much better than going under the knife and being forced to sit on your ass for 6 weeks. At least you can do some mild training, which is far better than nothing.
Also, I feel you on the flexibility thing. I now stretch for about 15 minutes every day, and it has done me some good. It's really easy to fall out of habit, but I'm pretty determined to stick with it.
