I have a question for people who have had hernias. A couple weeks ago I was helping my boys clean their rooms and we cleaning out dresser drawers, getting up and down. Well they last time I stood up my back hurt (more like pain in my left butt cheek lol). It was sore for a c oouple days. I was thinking it was my sacreliliac sinc I had this pain before so I was doing the stretching exercises. Then a couple days later I turned around quick and felt something pop. On and off since then I have had the pain in my "Butt" and abdomen on and off... Nothing that is really bad pain. Just ache. Do you think this could be a hernia? I noticed last night after walking alot at work yesterday it didn't hurt too much.

Having never had a hernia I don't know how they feel.

I had one, and it bulged, particularly when stressed (coughing or lifting my head when lying down). I think I have another, because i felt something "pop" and now I can feel a slight but distictive bulge in my belly when I cough.

You may have pulled a muscle or torn an adhesion (having had abdominal surgeries, we're full of adhesions). I've felt those tear as well - that would be my guess. In that case, it will be tender until it heals, but there is nothing to do for it.

However, I don't pretend to be a dr, and if you have any questions or concerns, it is always worth getting it checked out.

Thought I had hernia one time. Dr pushed in on the bulged area to see if it went into my abdomen any. She said if it were a hernia it would go back in some when pushed on. It was not a hernia in my case. It was an infected pocket that
