I have been familiar with what a hernia is for quite some time. I have heard of people getting them, but only knew of one person getting one, and she was a girl, and she said the pain was intense but I had no idea.
I was pretty ignorant as to what it was, and entailed tho. When people would say "careful how you lift, you could get a hernia" I listened, but I never had the proper respect and fear for a hernia that I should have. Looking back, if I had known, I would not have done half the things I have that risked a hernia.
Well, ladies and gents, now I have a hernia. I don't know how I got it exactly. Stress maybe, or it just happened gradually over time, or maybe overzealous sexual activity. Who knows. I cant pinpoint exactly when I got it, I just woke up one morning with it. Seriously. And its gotten progressively worse.
Men, we've all been kicked in the berries. We said something stupid to a girl when we were kids, or were winning a fight and some wimp kicked us, or just by accident got hit by a baseball or something. You know that feeling, when your parts swell up, thats the external pain, and then the internal gut feeling that comes with it? That stabbing stomach pain? Ok, imagine that all day long.
When I wake up in the morning, its usually because I look at the alarm clock and say "screw it, I'll get up". I've actually been half asleep most of the night. You try sleeping after getting kicked in the berries. Not easy. I get up, and for 4-5 hours, I have that swelling pain, the gut ache, etc, and by the mid day, for some reason it subsides into a nagging pain, mabye a 4 on that stupid pain scale. I have no idea why it gets better, but it does. This is how it goes for a while.
Then I eat something. Lately its been things that are soft and easy to digest, but it only lessens the pain that will come around an hour later. Then it's back to the just got kicked feeling again. It wears off a bit then I go to bed, usually dead tired from half-sleeping the night before and it starts all over again.
Then about 2-3am, I feel like some wiry feild goal kicker just kicked my stuff instead of a football. I really need to get surgery. I dont wanna brag, but I have a high tolerance for pain. I am one of those people who goes to an ER only when I think I may bleed to death and need stitches, or have bones sticking out. Other than that, I will deal with the pain till it goes away. I recently changed jobs, which means I dont have insurance, so I am going to try to ride this out till October, but I know I wont make it. If this tear gets any bigger I am stuck with going in.
Guys, when someone says, "watch out, you may get a hernia" LISTEN TO THEM. Listen like its tommorows lottery numbers because this hurts like you wouldnt believe. Nobody talks about this stuff enough. Avoid it like the plague. Thats all.
