| Re: Has anyone here had a hernia?
A hernia is when a muscle tears in your abdominal cavity and part of your intestine pops through. I had one when I was in high school for 3 years before I said anything about it. They don't bother some people, but they can be very painful for others, and in time can cause problems for everyone as it can mess up digestion.... or at least that is what the doctors told me. They sew in a piece of mesh to hold the weak muscle areas back together. Usually if you get one you'll get another one later. The surgery isn't that bad and your usually only out of doing normal activities for a day or two and lifting for a month or two. |
