What would cause my inguinal hernia to be bigger and more painful yesterday than it does today? i didn't do any lifting yesterday.

See answer: Being overweight, the anatomy and condition of your pre-existing hernia may simply get bigger over time, despite no heavy lifting (which of course still is NOT recommended).See you Doctor as the hernia needs to be evaluated, as the bigger they get, the more possible adverse events can occur such as strangulation, etc-which would be surgical emergency,...so get the are evaluated and cared for now.
