51 year old male. 6 3 , 220lbs. Have a history of inguinal hernias...had one when I was 6 years old, and then a double hernia laproscopic operation (mesh) when i was 39 years old. Believe I may have a reccurring inguinal hernia. Active weight lifter. Worked out two weeks ago and experienced no problems. About 3-4 hours after working out, felt a dull pain in the upper groin/lower abdomen. No swelling, redness or bumps and not painful to the touch. Went to see a doctor after one week for a hernia exam. Noted that he DID NOT press his fingers into the scrotal skin and against the pubic tubercule to feel for the inguinal ring and a possible hernia sac. When I questioned him, he told me it was not necessary. Informed me I did not have a hernia and it was ok to continue lifting weights. Assessed that I may have torn tissue around were the mesh had been installed. It s now been two weeks since I experienced the pain, and it does not appear to be going away. I feel the pain most went sitting down. Contemplating getting a second opinion/hernia exam.
