That's what I think I have at least. It corresponds with a lot of information I have found on the internet, and I have a doc's appt. later this week to see what exactly it is.
It started out as a tiny bump on my left hip flexor in my groin area and I thought it was a pimple (this was around 2-3 weeks ago). It had gone away for a little bit, or I had forgotten about it but now has exploded into a nice size bulge on my groin. It got bigger, I think, over the course of the day yesterday, but is now smaller than it was. I am interested to see if the size changes as the day wears on.
What I am getting at is: Is this a rare occurrance for people that do these mobility exercises that are as f*(&ed up as I was? I think I have been doing everything correctly (Hip extensions, light front squats to keep my back straight, plate squats, diagonal lunges, other lunges).

I don't think you can blame it on one exercise, one day, or whatever. It's a progressive thing. If you have a palpable bulge (not that one ), get it checked ASAP. However, it could be a simple strain from trying to extend the hip rather intensely.

P.S. If you read the paragraph below by itself, it could be rather funny (BTW, not laughing at your potential hernia)

Dear "Nick",
What you are experiencing is perfectly normal for boys your age. I'm sure many of your classmates are experiencing the same thing as well as a growing interest in the girls in your class. Just think about your grandma or dead puppies and the bulge usually goes away on its own.

Ok, that was freaking hilarious.
I wil hope for the strain, we'll see what the doctor says. I do NOT want to get cut open. It hurts when I walk, but yet, I can squat, lunge, and pitch with no problem.
Thanks Bill.

OK, Nick, go ahead and post the update on the bulge. You alluded to it in another thread in Off Topic.
Good call.
In short, I am a pussy. Not that it is surprising, but well, I like to ramble, and considering that I won't be going to sleep until the basketball game is over, I have some time so here we go. (stop reading if you're easily grossed out.)
I had to mow three lawns on Tuesday. No big deal. Hurt like a sonofagun though, and as I went to get in the shower, I noticed a red spot on the gauze that I had on wrapping the bulge. I figured it was from chafing, and as I unwrapped the gauze to get in the shower, the fountain erupted. I nice soft serve twist of blood and pus shot out at an alarming rate. Needless to say I bled all over the bathroom. But I was able to drain most of the junk from the bump, and almost immediately felt minimal pain.
I went to the doctor the next day and was informed that it was an abscess; what I thought it was after the explosion. He put me on some heavy antibiotics that can cause the craps and pukes, and told me that it was from an ingrown hair.
The bump is much much smaller now, has stopped oozing, and is pain free.

My bros used to get those in the summer.
Freaked them out because it hurt hijus, and Dad would hold them down and lance the dang things. Soon as the eruption was done, though, they were OK again.
BUT, later when they got into lifting, the also developed lipid tumors, so you know, a bump is not necessarily a bump is a bump is a bump.
