HI,Welcome to HCM.
I studied your query.
You seem to have irritating Joint pain with stomach pain,while Washing your clothes and worried about hernia.Joint pain gets relieved with Hifenac Sr.
Your main worry is about the Stomach Pains and whether it could be due to Hernia.
Based on the facts of your query,from the details submitted by you,it is very difficult to comment on your query about Hernia.
I would suggest you to Please provide Me with more details about the stomach pains,so that I would help you out on the matter.
How you long you get these pains?
On Which side you suspect to have hernia symptoms?
Is there any swelling poping out in the Abdomen,which increases while washing and on which side left/or right side of your abdomen/stomach.?
What is the exact site of the hernial complaints.
If you can update the exact photo of the abdominal part,where you suspect hernial symptoms,it would be easier to study it and help you out.
So dear,Please update photograph of the concerned part and update it with more details if any.
I would love to help you out soon.

Stomach pain is near the area of appendix. But not severe. There is no abnormality at all in the view of this or any other stomach area. Nothing bulges out during washing. I have watched the area very carefully and it is as normal as ever. I did not mean joint pain. What I meant was the area at and near the scrotum on the side of the appendix. It does not pain during washing the clothes but the nagging pain starts after wards when I do my routine walk etc.
Brief Answer:
Probable Cause of Right Groin and scrotal pain?Reducible inguinal hernia
Detailed Answer:
Brief Ans-Probable Cause of Right Groin and scrotal pain?Reducible inguinal hernia in early stage.
Hi,Sir,
Thanks for the updates from you.
I studied the last updates and reviewed it with the earlier query.
In My opinion You seem to get the right groin and scrotal dull pain, after the routine work is done.
Suggestions to Investigate the Causes of Right groin / scrotal dull pain-
At the age of 80, following possibilities need to be ruled out- as suggested
Get the Surgeons Second Opinion who would physically examine,
Get USG study of the Scrotal and Inguinal area
Following possibilities need to be verified -
-Indirect Hernia-which is not as there is no swelling seen by you/ Direct hernia-Whose probability is more for your age.
-Right Varicocele-whose pain gets worst after the routine work is done.
-Hidden Testicular Tumor without obvious scrotal swelling
My Opinion at this stage-
Based on the facts given by you,In My opinion you seems to suffer from - Reducible Indirect Inguinal Hernia in early stage.
I would suggest you to Update on few following questions-
How long(remains for .5,1,2,3,hours after work is over) this nagging /dull pain in right scrotal region, remains after you have finished the work?
If lying down reduces your nagging right scrotal pain early?
Await for getting this information with more details,to help you out in next session.
If you feel satisfied,Will appreciate your excellent feedback review comments, to help needy patient visitors like you,at HCM services.
Wishing you fast recovery.

Dr Savaskar,
Your reply was indeed good. USG study shows no such symptoms. In fact I do this procedure, including blood test for prostrate once and twice each year respectively.
This pain comes on only when I wash heavy clothes like Turkish towels, linen etc.
It is not present otherwise. When it occurs, I take Hifenac SR for two days BD and the pain goes away, till I forget that it has come on and I wash heavy clothes again. Is there any non invasive treatment available?

Brief Answer:
Post-Exertional Myalgic Groin Pains/Under Investigation
Detailed Answer:
Breif-Ans-Post-Exertional Myalgic Groin Pains/Under Investigation
Your Groin Pains mostly could be due to –Exertional Myalgia of the groin Muscles
Or it could be due to –Post Exertional Genitofemoral temporary Nerve entrapment.
Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the patient and detailed updates and appreciating comments for my efforts done .
In the absence of the exact physical information,it becomes a challenging job for doctors to predict the cause of Groin pain like yours.
I reviewed this information with the earlier queries and updates for the 3 rd time.
I studied your query updates and reviewed it carefully.
Differrential Diagnosis in your case after 3r update-
After reviewing the 3rd updates from You,In My opinion-the causal factors for your Groin / scrotal pain seems to be as follows –
A-Muslce and Bone and joints Causal factors-
a-post exertional Myalgia.
b-could be due to Atheletic Osteitis Pubis of early stage with osteoporotic pubic joint
B-Neural-Temporary Compression of –Ilio-Inguinal and GenitoFemoral nerve entrapment Compression or with exertional displacements in the spinal joints with thoracolumpar compression.
Suggestions-updated 3 rd time-
I would suggest you to have X-ray / CT study of the Spine and Symphysis Pubis to confirm the cause from any of the above possibilities.
Consult Orthopedic Surgeon with X-ray and CT of Spine and Symphysis Pubis.
Hot Fomentation after the washing exertion
Continue-Hifenac Sr-Only When pain persists after exertion ,to avoid side effects of long use.
Vit B1/B6/B12 to supplement any neural vitamin deficiency by age and exertion.
Vit D3- 60 k units –monthly supplements to recoup the osteoporotic element by age.
Calcium rich /high protein diet , to recoup the osteoporotic element by age.
All these efforts would help you to come out of this problem.
Hope this reply would satisfy you and help you to plan further treatment of this unknown irritating right groin pain after washing exertions.
Keep Me updated on the progress of your case after investigations,by a direct question to ME at HCM and I would love to help you out in time to come on this issue.
