I don't know much about hernias either (but that had definitely entered my mind!) and had always considered them an affliction limited to males! I should have clarified that the swollen area is pretty much a mass of "rubbery" feeling nodules that is roughly the combined size of a small canteloupe. Again, I don't know much about them, but remember a friend's husband that had one and it was located in his low abdomen and was more of a hard golf-ball thingy.
I am paying really close attention to how it feels and the level of acute soreness. Obviously, I am not even considering working out today and if the swelling/pain has not subsided by tomorrow morning, I will be stopping by my Dr.'s office first thing. I usually end up going in there once every couple months, so I'm sure he already thinks I'm a hypochondriac (which I probably am)
. So, I want to wait and see if it is something that truly warrants a visit and not just another reason to support the Corporate Medical Machine.
I'm eating really clean and light today figuring I don't need to add insult to injury and plan to take it easy and hope for recovery.
I'm hoping I can chalk this up to being a psycho and not being able to tell myself when too much is too much. I'm an addict!!
