Thanks, will do! I would really just like to know what this is in case it suddenly takes a nosedive and becomes super painful. I’ve read about incarcerated/strangulated hernias and honestly that is my biggest fear. I’m generally an athletic and healthy person who only goes to the doctor under duress or for annual check ups but this has recently become a quality of life issue that I can’t ignore so I just need to know what it is. Knowledge is power, at least if I find out I’ll know whether it’s safe to exercise through the discomfort, since I’d prefer to tolerate some pain than undergo surgery which would likely just lead to more problems (my body is an active scar tissue producer).
