Hello.i have a groin strain ,where rectus abdominus attaches to pubis symphsis,it is swollen and tender.could i have caused myself an inguinal hernia?

Location, location!: The pubic symphysis is right in the middle of the pelvis (straight down from the umbilicus). An inguinal hernia causes a lump in the groin (left or right) and may or may not be painful or tender.
