It's a toomah!
On the inguinal hernia note, could be inguinal infection if you've taken any blows to that area, belt too tight, rough sex. Kind of the opposite effect where the passage swells up and gets too small instead of too large and letting intestine pass, but usually one of your nuts will be hurting. Also hard to get a Dr. to properly diagnose as there's no lump like a hernia, but some anti inflammatories (800mg ibuprofen 3x a day for 10 days) will clear it up.
Pain was below his belt, not in his wife's purse.Quote:

I thought it was just a bad/weird stomachache. I got home at about 2:00PM, was in quite a bit of pain, and sat down and turned on the TV. Jeopardy just happened to be on the TV when I turned it on. I'm not joking, the first question/answer was "if this is hurting you, you need to get to the hospital right away". "What is the appendix." "Correct".
I realized right then that it was my appendix, and I went straight to the hospital, and it almost burst right before I had surgery to take it out. I was really afraid that it was going to burst when I was getting prepped for surgery because the pain increased so much over the last hour.
The pain right before surgery was very bad. I have also had a kidney stone, and the level pain for the two was similar, but the difference is that the appendix pain only lasted like that for a couple of hours, where the kidney stone lasted for a week straight. I would rather have 10 appendix surgeries than 1 kidney stone.
Other people have told me they took a month to pass a kidney stone, and I think "well you didn't have what I had (or at least the level of severity that I had), because you would be dead if it took you a month." I didn't eat for a week, and didn't drink for the last few days because I couldn't keep anything down due to the pain.
I don't know what caused the kidney stone, but this lady in my office has a bowl of wintergreen lifesavers, and I was eating at least 5 of them a day for a couple of months. And they're kind of chalky, and I just picture that somehow that built up in my system and made a kidney stone. I can't even look at that bowl of candy anymore. Someone told me that pop and gatorade can cause it. I haven't had so much as a sip of anything except water (and beer) since the kidney stone.

Ovarian cyst.
kidding. Sent you a PM.
you called it yourself. If you have pain in that general area, and you have had kidney stones in the past, it's a kidney stone. The pain can be displaced, radiate in odd ways. I have had two surgeries, one on each side, and passed a ton of kidney stones and gravel.Quote:

Of course I'm not a doctor so better see yours before Ocare jacks your rates up!
Kidney stones are exactly the kind of thing that keep me religious about diet and exercise. Gallon of water a day, no alcohol, no soda, glucose sugars, high fiber intake, etc.
Don't be a fool, health is cool!
