Possible hernia doing pull ups?
This happened in 2014 and has given me issues ever since. I was doing pull ups one day and something happened in the lower right side of my gut slightly below my belly button. I went the the ER that night and they felt me and took blood and couldn’t find anything. I went on with life and it has messed with me since, I went to a different family doctor in 2016 who also did a body exam on me and didn’t find anything. I need educated opinions on this, thanks in advance

Have you had an ultrasound done on the area to check for a hernia? I am not sure if that’s effective for all hernia types, but it’s usually helpful for diagnosing more mysterious cases of inguinal hernias and groin hernias.

it felt like something popped/ruptured right when I was straining to do a pull-up. I can tell there’s a slight bulge, neither doctor said they could feel anything but they aren’t hernia doctors. I’ve lived with this for 4 years now but always pull my shirt up during the day to see if I’m turning purple. usually the pain is mild and dull when leaning over improperly. I was thinking it could possibly be diastasis recti but not sure.

What happened? What did it feel like? Did you feel like something snapped? Do you have a visible bulge now? What are the issues you have since? What did the doctors you met tell you?
