Is this a hernia? Please help, in alot of pain!?!


Question: Please dont tell me to go to the Dr. I dont go unless its a matter of life or death (literitly). I have insurance but i dont trust Drs.

I'm 23, 6'2", 156pounds, in good health IMO. No drug use and i rarely drink.

3 days ago i was helping a friend lift something it weighted about 500-600 pounds and later that night i felt a pain sorta inside my stomach behind my belly button. I kinda blew it off thinking i was just sore from the lifting. An now 3 days later i still have the same pain. It hurts when i touch around my belly button and it also hurts when i sneeze or cough hard. Do you think i have a hernia? I've already had one when i was 20 and had it repaired but it was in my groin area. What do you think?

Do NOT wait on that. If you haven't done so, go have yourself checked at ER. A man has nothing if he doesn't have his health and if your intestines are about to leak through that tear you are gonna be in a world of hurt. A hernia often is used to describe hernias of the lower torso (abdominal wall hernias).
nearly all have a potential risk of having their blood supply cut off (becoming strangulated). If the hernia sac contents have their blood supply cut off at the hernia opening in the abdominal wall, it becomes a medical and surgical emergency.
Please, do a search on emedcinehealth and you'll see that you should take care of this now. Preventitive maintenance from a doc visit may help you avoid surgical problems. And do not engage in any thing where you have to lift heavy things.
chop chop! do it now.

dude seriously go to the doctor!

GO TO THE DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. IT IS A HERNIA. I'VE HAD ONE IT ISN'T FUN. GO TO THE DOCTOR NOW! A hernia is nothing to play with. If you've strained too much it will happen. Please don't suffer go to the doctor. If I can trust them you can

A hernia. Is a cut or a tear in the intestane wall

It really could be hernia related.
Why say:please help if you do not trust Dr's. anyway?
I have had three myself,and operated upon,so know what i am talking about.

Well a hernia can be life threatening, as the bowel can be literally cut off.... I had an umbilical hernia....emergency room diagnosed "gas". I did not agree, but what can you do? The next day I was on the floor almost in tears with what felt like cramping. I went to my dr, and he immediately referred me to the surgeon next door. He immediately admitted me for surgery. He told me I could have died, as the intestine was popping out through the hernia, and could be literally blocked off or twisted. Go to the doctor right now. It will not get better by itself.

yes its a hernia i just know it. get it checked emmediately

no dude it just your sore because of the lifting
