Is My Lump A Reaction To Crestor Or Is It Femoral Hernia?

I am a 65 year old male. 5' 9 inches 160 lbs. I have a small pea size painless lump in the crease of my leg and abdomen. Closer to the right hip bone. Maybe 2 inches away from the hip bone. It is hard and painless but can easily be felt when sitting and moving around. Never felt it before the last two months. Oddly feel better than ever the last two months no other symptoms. This occurred in conjunction with a severe reaction to to the drug Crestor. Could the two be linked? How about the possibility of a femoral hernia since it is so high up in the crease. The discomfort disappears for the rest of the day when I do my 5 mile jog every other day.

Hi,Dear,thaks for your query to HcM.There is no relation to crestor reaction.I would have advised surgeons second opinion to rule out the possiblity of the hernia-, which disappears after jog.In my opinion this appears to be direct hernia mostly ?by the location told by you.Hope this would resolve the query.Wellcome again to HCM.
