A member asked:
Would helping someone move make it very obvious whether i have a hernia since it involves heavy lifting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: You yourself might feel a lump or bulge or discomfort at a hernia site with repeated heavy lifting. Hernias can also be subtle & not necessarily "obvious." see your doctor for an exam if you have concerns.
