I managed to pop one out when I dropped my motorcycle. Took me a year to finally have it fixed, didn't bother me too much. I was back at work and cutting my grass within a week, back at the gym in less then 3 weeks. Easy surgery to recover from.Anyone here ever have an inguinal hernia? Just got diagnosed with one. A result of my nothing crash from 3 weeks ago.
I had one over a dozen years ago. Mine was small, but it caused me a fair amount of pain, so I had the surgery. I have a 3"-4" incision scar that's only visible when I keep up on my Speedo line. 😆

So this will be your first one of two? First one I had was open with mesh. Years later the other side gave out and that was laparoscopic with mesh.Anyone here ever have an inguinal hernia? Just got diagnosed with one. A result of my nothing crash from 3 weeks ago.

Good info. Hopefully it's my first and only one. I'm waiting on more info from the doctor but I'll keep Dr. Licata in mind.So this will be your first one of two? First one I had was open with mesh. Years later the other side gave out and that was laparoscopic with mesh.
In both cases the first week if you sneeze or laugh hard you will hurt.
I went to Dr. Joe Licatta in Ramsey. At the time, he would accept whatever your insurance paid and not bother with a co-pay. Good business model as I am sure he got a lot of patients by making it easy.
Great repair work and great Doctor. I can sneeze, cough, laugh, lift without a sudden bulge of guts popping out and me grabbing my nuts to make sure all is safe down there. This is either TMI or you can relate or hopefully you are not ripped that big or bad.
I learned after the first one, shave yourself before hand, torso down to thighs. Unless you want them to do it.

Did you sign your waiver? 😉 feel better
Dude, those knuckles ain’t right. Look to see if any orthopedics docs have urgent cares in your area. One of the ones local to me does and it’s great for a quick initial diagnosis. It fast tracks you to addressing the potential issue.
Thankfully you can still drive, since the F-U finger appears to be unharmed. 😜.
Hope you already took off that ring before they have to cut it off !
New hand day !!!
But it’s the left one!
