[UhOh!]

Thanks for the encouragement! Did anyone ever explain to you why an inguinal hernia presented as lower back pain? And, if you don’t mind my asking, was it direct or indirect, was the pain in your back unilateral or bilateral and from where in your back did it feel like it was originating?

Since it’s a slightly different topic, I started another thread specifically asking some “sports hernia” questions. Started wondering if that “bit of squishy ‘something'” I’m feeling is actually some loose tissue, as it feels like it turns into a tiny balloon when I Valsalva. More reasons to go get some kind of ultrasonic imaging, I suppose.
