Today's hernia news: Surgeon believes we should wait and see what happens.What I have is very minor, and may have been there for years. It's entirely possible I strained a groin muscle/abdominal muscle that is taking awhile to heal, and that simply led to this discovery. So we'll watch it, and his advice was "if it hurts, don't do it."

    That's interesting Aric. I guess it's good you've got it targeted and known what to watch for.

    It's good to know what you're dealing with. I'd consider that good news.

    Yeah, I am quite pleased. This kind of hernia is quite common and often doesn't present any symptoms for years, until it's detected during something like a military physical. THe plan now is to take some naproxen to get the swelling down, and see if some time makes a difference to the muscle pain. With hernia, the choice to do surgery is based on symptoms- no symptoms, no surgery.

    That is good news. Hopefully it clears up in the near future. At least you now what you are dealing with and it sounds like you can't really do any lasting damage.
