I have a pain in the thigh after lateral leg exercises, is it an inguinal hernia??
hello :rolleyes:
I’m 6.1. 28yo. 143.3 pounds. very skinny and fit. 3 ultrasounds. 1/3 was a 12-mm hernia.the other two, nothing.have a very very very small lump in the groin that appears when I am standing. It is soft not hard. has 6 years old I saw it after my appendix surgery.
All this time I have lived normal but a few months ago I feel a pain in the leg after lateral lifting. my groin doesn’t hurt (or at least that’s what I feel) I feel pain near my groin(not so close), from my thigh.
stays sensitive(It hurts a little[2/10 paint scale] when I flex my leg or walk) then the pain disappears the next day. and comeback after lateral lifting.Iam very afraid to do tha surgery because I am very thin and can have chronic pain and I also don’t want to gain weight (accumulate fat in the belly) and lose my muscles. I make this post to make a decision, have surgery or don’t have surgery.

See you local surgeon to be sure that you have a hernia.
He/she should be able to determine whether or not you have a hernia on physical examination.
Ask he/she if you have a direct or indirect hernia.
In a skinny athlete I always advise a non mesh repair.

[USER=”2956″]peter13[/USER] sorry for the bad news, doctors will tell “you can go back to exercise after 2 or 4 or 6 weeks and have your normal routine” but I don’t believe it (it’s my opinion), you are going to get yourself hurt, so it’s up to you how much do you want to risk yourself….
Good luck! -

I am not a doctor or an expert, but in my opinion if you wait it will get bigger and it might be a complicated surgery, if you get repaired now, there are 2 types of surgery:
1 Pure tissue repair, only few doctors do it, you will need to find an expert.
Pros: no chronic pain
Cons: high risk of recurrence2 Mesh: Most of the doctors will accept to put a mesh on you, (it seems they get gifts and money from the mesh manufacturers)
A Open
Pros: less risk of recurrence, easy to remove the mesh.
Cons: It seems some people have chronic pain, lB Laparoscopic
Pros: less risk of recurrence
Cons: It seems some people have chronic pain, difficulties removing the meshI haven’t had my operation yet, whatever path you choose you won’t be able to be as active as you are now.
