I am worried I have a hernia and if so what my course of action should be. About a month ago I hurt my lower left abdomen (near appendix) when lifting a 50lb pet cage. Eventually the pain went away after a week or so of rest, but today I was shoveling snow and I felt the same pop in the same place and now it hurts my lower left side to pee or use the bathroom. I am unable to pass stool because the pain is so severe. Could this be a hernia? I am 20y/o female, weighing about 95lbs. Thanks
