After the doc gave me the news of a forming hernia, he showed me a few exercises to build my core and possibly push it back, though he mentioned if the pain persisted, got worse, or I felt a pop in the area, I shouldn’t wait until the revisit. Well, the pain was getting worse and expanding into certain areas between my legs. He’s now going to schedule a consultation with a surgeon at the local hospital soon. Looks like surgery is in my future. Hopefully my insurance will cover a great deal of it...
