    Positive Cough impulse but negative ultrasound

    Hello, thanks again for ur reply its much appreciated. Just to update, I visited another hernia spacialist who examined me and said he feels a slight cough impulse and would like to do a laparoscopic examination. I’ll probably be getting it done in about a months time and I’m hopeful he’ll find a hernia or something there which has been causing me this pain. My only worries are that i dont have a bulge and the scans all come back clear but he said that doesnt matter, they very often find bit hernias when the scans are clear. Both doctors seem pretty certain i have a hernia and i wouldnt be surprised considering ive been a keen body builder for over 10 years and occasionally lift photocopiers at work. Fingers crossed thats what it is. If not then it may be more complicated such as nerve damage to my groin/testicle etc which is alot harder to treat.

    Thanks

    Paul
