is it a constant pain or is it like a pain that flares up when you move in a certain direction?

i've been doing a lot of weight lifting and yoga lately and now whenever i kinda lean back and stretch out my abdomen i get this weird pain in my stomach/lower back, but i'm not sure if it's just soreness or what (it's been going on for like 5 days now but i've been working my core like crazy)

if you have any hernia insight plz post here

regards,

batman

My friend had a hernia for years until it got so bad he had emergency surgery on it.

A hernia to my knowledge is a ruptured intestine wall that fills up with fluid in a very painful manner. (varies depending on severity of the tear and other factors)

If you catch a small hernia early it won't be so bad. I would get it checked out ASAP.

Hernia is a tear in your abdominal wall where an inner organ pushes out through the tear,whether it be the bowel,intestine etc.

Check the area where the pain is starting. Is there a lump of any sort forming? Or does it look/feel normal? You may have just strained the muscles.

Either way if it persists I would suggest full lower body amputation! Or a doctor
