I'm broken! :(

[lowkee]

The other day I was working in the garage (cleaning). After I finished up I came inside and noticed I had a sore spot in the lower left of my gut. Never having felt pain there before, I figured it was likely a pulled muscle, since I'm out of shape and was moving heavy, awkward stuff by myself. Well, insert tonight, it hurts to just sit here, laughing sucks and standing upright makes me wince

I'm broken! I never break, I'm Mr. Never Gets Sick Ever.. my world is shattered!

PS: I hate doctors.. I hate hospitals, and right about now.. I hate my lower left gut. Just thought I'd share

Re: I'm broken!

You may have just a pulled muscle or you may have ruptured something keep a eye on it. Possible your 6 pack trying to come out

Re: I'm broken!

I think I have an entire keg trying to come out. I imagine for entirely different reasons though.

I had a computer that was broken. I put a new motherboard in it. Maybe you should put a new motherboard in your gut!

While you're at it, upgrade the memory too!

Is one's Appendix on the left side or the right?

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Keep an eye on it. I hate doctors, too. Unfortunately sometimes you have to let the quacks "practice" their practice.


PS
Why do you think doctors call their business a practice?

It's a vicious cycle.. you go to upgrade you memory, get distracted, then forget what you were doing.

You would think by now humans would be modular. Of course, now that I think about it, the back pages of magazine would likely grow to fill 1/2 the magazine if that ever happened

Re: I'm broken!

by what your saying it sounds as if you may have a hernia.
nothing to play around with here friend, had a darn good tear.
got to the point were it felt like i had 3 testicals, definitely knew something was wrong then.
can happen to anybody, i was in extremely good shape at that time.
ran a min of 5 miles every day, 75 push up, 75 chin ups, 150 setups plus lifting.
many times did a 60 mile run on the mtn bike then go to work.
just strain wrong and rip.
google up "hernia" there is a lot of information there for you.

Re: I'm broken!

It does sound like that. Guess I'm off to the doctor tomorrow..

Re: I'm broken!

Let us know what the Doctor says. I think I have one too. Buddy told me that if it bulges out when you cough, it's a hernia (he's had two surgeries). That's what mine is doing. Good luck!

Re: I'm broken!

Go get it sorted before it gets any worse !!!

Re: I'm broken!

I had a hernia and had the surgery to repair it. The recovery was a b_tch. I still get some discomfort now if I do much lifting but at least this time it isn't my nuts that hurt . I use it as an excuse to not help anyone move.

Re: I'm broken!

would a hernia have pain in the "lower gut area"? I guess it depends on how low is low. good luck at the doc, hope it's just a minor muscle pull and not the "big h".

Re: I'm broken!

There's different kinds of hernias so the answer is maybe...

 

[alumi numb]

Re: I'm broken!

don't know about yours but they put a mesh screen in on the repair.
your right recovery hurt like you know what, couldn't stand long at all for a time.
to this day can't gain a much weight, the mech starts pulling and feels like a bunch of needles sticking.
however 65 and still lift a little, 20 miles on the bicycle every morning.
fact is i have to go now riding partner will be here soon.
that's the father in law 82 ww2 vet and did 5k miles last year, this year 6k on his bikes.

Because they never reach perfect...

Re: I'm broken!

I think if my doctor (does going for a physical once make him 'my doctor'?) changed his company name to Family Perfect I would feel more comfortable going to see him .. Better yet, "Family Perfect With No Staphylococci Floating Around Everywhere"

Staph will be the last thing you're thinking about when he's jammin' his figures up under your nuts lookin' for that hernia

Re: I'm broken!

Make that doctors appointment and have it checked. No matter how healthy we think we are the system does break down.

I wish you well.
