Anyone here ever had a Hernia?

I'm the typical stubborn guy, been having pain in my groin, upper thigh for a while now. Well i have a fairly large mass right next to my groin, on my upper thigh on my right leg. Sharp shooting pain, burning sensation, stiffness, almost positive it's a hernia. I have an appointment this Friday to get it checked out. I'd just like to know if anyone has ever experienced one before? I guess they only way to fix this is surgery. I'd like to think im one of the toughest sob's you'll ever meet, (doesn't every guy :D) but when it comes to anything surgery....i'm a pussy. I've heard so many horror stories of shit going wrong, my fear is they'll accidently do the wrong leg, saw it off, something! Bad...of course lol. Anyone know how long the surgery usually last's, how long i'll be down?

I know you guys aren't doctors, or looking for medical advice. Just looking for someone who's experienced one.

Thanks for any info.

Never had one, but hernia surgery is so routine now you will have nothing to worry about man. JUST GO GET IT!! Id say you shouldnt be down for more than a week. Maybe 2 at the most. I guess it just depends how bad yours is. Better try to get some booty tonight! :D Good luck!

Yikes, sorry to hear that.

My kitten had an umbilical hernia when he was a baby kitteh and I had to keep (gently) pushing his guts back into his belly so he wouldn't get intestinal strangulation. I can still feel the stitches when I rub his belly.

Sorry I have nothing helpful to add. You should call your doc and explain the urgency and try to get a visit sooner. Friday is awfully far away.....

Yeah, i'm gonna get it looked at. Hopefully it's nothing else. My younger brother keeps telling me it's cancer lol. I'm not sure why he likes to talk about himself like that, but to each their own. :dunno:

I actually got some last night...twice, because she thought aunt flow was coming. And...of course...it's here today. :cry: Oh well. haha.

Thanks

Wow. That's rather...unfortunate. 2 and a half days away? I think i'll make it. I started having pain almost 2 years ago...what's a couple more days? lol.

:lol:

btw, I got serious doubts about medical advice from a motorcycle forum, unless it involves crashing...

You're better off going to Yahoo Health, that's pretty good,

except it falls short on advice about diseases of sheep, which is probably why nobody here knows about it...
