34 year old male. i have dull ache in testicles worse when i sit. have a pain in the lower abdomen and inside leg. 5 years ago had ingrunal hernia rep?

Accepted Answer

Maybe related : Tough to say if the two are related, but its possible. I think you would benefit from an evaluation by a hernia specialist, or a plastic surgeon with interest and expertise in peripheral nerve problems. You could check the americas hernia society or european hernia society website to help find a hernia specialist close to you.

Musculoskeletal: Early 20's female w. unilateral abdominal "numbness" &amp; same-sided sciatica. Assuming single disorder, only pain referral pattern explanatory is pelvic girdle joint disorder.

Osteopaths are skillful diagnosticians of this.

right side of the lower abdomen having pain and the pain spreads nearby sometimes...is it hernia or appendix?

Question 8

i felt like a little vibration kind of sensation in left lower abdomen area randomly when coughing hard. i don't feel any pain/bump. is it normal? because i feel concerned as i recently read online we may feel hernia in low abdomen when coughing?

Accepted Answer

: Young adults become aware of bodily functions they never paid attention to before and must be reminded that if you must ask if something hurts or not, it doesn't. It is rare for a serious medical problem to exist at your age that doesn't cause clearly unpleasant symptoms. A small hernia may remain undetectable but isn't serious unless it traps bowel but then you'll have severe pain and vomiting

Question 9

unexplained bruise on lower abdomen, sign of hernia?

Accepted Answer

No: This is not a typical sign of a hernia. It is likely just a bruise.

Question 10

chronic back and leg pain for 4 years. done many mri - no hernia, cause unknown. i was told maybe it could be caused by anemia. is that possible?

Accepted Answer

Chronic bk/leg pain: You're pretty young to have these.  What is your level of activity?  Very high or very low.  What is your weight?  If too high, your weight can be the cause for your back and leg pains.  If your weight is normal, then the MRI should give you an idea regarding back disc herniation.  You may consider seeing your primary care doctor regarding an ortho or neuro consult.
