Hernia Diagnosis
Experienced severe pain in the groin area after a heavy lift. Went to the doctor and he
told me it’s impossible to diagnose a hernia before waiting 6 to 8 weeks to allow a possible groin pull or tear to heal. Hernia would not be able to be detected with ultrasound.
Does this sound reasonable ? Thanks -

Nope.
Hernia is a hole through the muscle. Muscle tear or pull has inflammation at the sight of the year, which is different than the area of the hernia. The examination findings are different. Also, ultrasound can show a hernia but it’s more difficult to show inflammation from a tear unless it’s a big one.
