Does it take a good bit of straining to get a hernia to pop out?

I always wondered if maybe the 3 coughs they tell you to do may not necessarily be enough to make it protrude.

go get all that checked out by a doctor... the hernias and the pinched nerves

[red324]

I already have.

[red324]

They said it's an L5S1 degenerative disc in my back.

[NathanDavis]

how did you got that one? line of work?

have you seen a chiropractor yet, for options on treatment?

[red324]

Just wear and tear. Yup I see one once a week to adjust my back.

[NathanDavis]

good, then it can get better... i guess the rest would be habits and posture

not sure if work would allow for that

I have had my hernia for almost 20 months and after the first few times of it pooping out found that walking would pop it out but after resting and some healing has happened it hasn't come out for about 6 months now

[red324]

Interesting. I have never seen anything obvious poking out. Just an occassional tingling right testicle that lasts for a few days typically.

This has been going on for probably seven years and was finally told ot was an irritated nerve from my back.
