Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i AM 66 YEARS OLD AND QUITE ACTIVE. rECENTLY i SHOVELED SNOW AND NOW i HAVE LOWER ABDOMINAL DISCOMFORT BUT I DON T THINK THAT IS IT BECAUSE I SHOVEL ALL THE TIME. COULD IT BE A HERNIA OR DEEPER PROBLEM IN THE PELVIC AREA? I JUST BIKED FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY AND IT DOESN T HURT BIKING OR SITTING. JUST WALKING.
I have read your question in detail and will try to help you in the best way possible.
It can be simple muscular pain which can happen during activities like that. But with increasing abdominal pressure if u feel something sticking out into ur scrotum or through the abdomen just about the thigh either on left or right, then it coukd be hernia too. But its uncommon to have pain with hernia unless it gets twisted and blood supply is compromised. If you were my patient i would suggest a pain killer like advil if there is pain but as i said if u have a bulging mass like i described then i advise u to consult your surgery doctor.
I hope this answered all your queries, if you have more queries,I will be happy to answer.
Wish you the best of health.
Regards.
