I think Frank is trying to say to you that it would be irresponsible of him to try to diagnose you on the internet.

I think Frank is waiting for Pete's health insurance info, so he can get paid for the encounter.

Pete, Peter's right for Pete's sake.

I might add some general information was provided to Pete via PM free of charge.

As others have said, get it checked out. The sooner the better.

I've got some experience with hernias. They come with the territory from being a former competitive power lifter.

From what I've heard, they can be painful. I wouldn't know since none of mine ever bothered me.

Just because you don't have any noticeable bulges doesn't mean you don't have a hernia.

Bottom line, if you are in pain then something is wrong. Better to have your doctor tell you its a pulled muscle, then find out its a hernia later.

Take it easy and get it checked out.

Thank you guys for your concerns...and advice. I think I turned a corner yesterday...I started feeling better midday yesterday...I went to the gym and walked on the treadmill for a while last night...feel even better right now...I'm thinking this is a muscle thing and am going to wait it out a few more days.

I AM a man after all...and I hate going to the doctor!!!!
