Hernia?

What does a hernia feel like?

the musicle area around my stomach hurts really bad and i can't bend over.

I'm afraid i over-worked out. I'm only 3 weeks out today, and i might have over done it.

or maybe i am paranoid.

any info would be great!

thanks!

i had an umbilical hernia (mid abdomen) a few years ago and it feels like a sharp stabbing pain! the best way to tell for sure if you dont have anything actually bulging out of your abdominal wall is to lay down flat on your back and press firmly on your belly button area and COUGH, if you do have a hernia you will likely feel something pop up and push against your hand (its kind of creepy lol) !
I really hope you dont have one, cause they can be pretty painful, but the surgery to repair it is not that bad! i actually think mine is back and i mentioned it to my WLS surgeon and he said if he finds it when he goes in, he'll fix it! yay lol
good luck

hey girl. maybe its just an muscular pain. what kind of exercise are you doing?it might be to early for other exercise than walking this far of the way. please be careful . and call your dr. he can give you an answer. but  i think you are a little bit paranoid. lol

Call your doc.

Thanks everyone for the advice...it was muscular and my doctor yelled at me for exercising....and told me to take it easy {so hard for me to take it easy!}

 Thank you x's a million guys!
