need some help
what does early stage or slight hernia feel like?
i have a slight discomfort in my right pelvis crack and i dont know if i have a hernia or not
been doing full squats i try good form and just today i was playing with my dog and jerked myself quickly and now my pelvis side is hurting
i tried to move my fingers around my pelvis around and did not find ANY lumps (good sign?)
also what should i do now with my workout, lessen my weight? or take a break
Lumps do NOT make or break the discovery of a hernia. If it's reduced, it will have pain, but be recessed so far that you can not feel it. However, from heavy squats there is usually a lot of pressure on the pelvis and thus you can find yourself sore in areas you were not used to being sore before - such as the outer sections of the pelvis.
My advise is simple - let it be for a few days and see if it improves (DO NOT DO ANY LEG OR DEADLIFT EXERCISES). If the pain goes away, you are good to go.
If it does not, see your doctor for a more complete examination.
