What does a hernia feel like?

staceyv · 04-02-2005, 11:17 AM

My abs feel like I did 1,000 sit ups yesterday- but I didn't. I can't believe that kneading bread would give my abs such a workout, so now I'm thinking maybe I have a hernia or something. Maybe I'm just a hypochondriac, I don't know. That's why I'm asking...

I bet kneading bread could be pretty good for your abs. It might hurt if you haven't been doing anything else to tighten up.

staceyv · 04-02-2005, 11:25 AM

oh crap, forget it, I just looked it up myself (which I probably should've done in the first place) and realized that you need to have a lump, which I don't. My abs are killing me, though.
I guess I overworked myself in the kitchen. In the last 24 hours, I have made 3 loaves of homemade bread, french toast strata, brunch strata, cocnut lentil soup, mini pizzas, pot roast, 8 lbs of mashed potatoes, tartar sauce, sandwiches, nachos and homefries. Now I don't have to cook for a long time

But damn, my abs are killing me.
Hey, if you want a great ab workout, just knead bread for at least 15 minutes.

One more thing, sorry but I am really hyperactive this week. I don't know if it's spring ( I have seasonal depression) or if it's just having a week off of work, or what, but I know I'm rambling and I'll try to stop.

Lots of broads get this way when they're nesting.

you do not need to have a lump to have a hernia. a hernia is effetively a torn muscle that MAY be allowing your innards to squeeze through the opening. if it is a hernia the pain should be pretty localized and bulge slightly when you cough.

I did the cough test- no bulge

busterb · 04-05-2005, 06:58 PM

Yep

Ya know what a hernia feels like? It feels like burning.

Core muscles, not just abs - the ones around your spine and pelvic floor. You need these just to stand up straight. But no one knows that which is why they get back pain/bad posture. It seems to me that you were kneading bread in the correct fashion which would cause the abdominal area to ache rather than the shoulders or lower back. Enjoy the pain! Stronger core here we come!

staceyv · 04-08-2005, 10:58 AM

thanks cat! It really was a simple muscle ache from over use, because it went away in 48 hours, just like when I used to work out. I should make homemade bread twice a week and I'll have kick-ass abs for summer!

mrnoodle · 04-11-2005, 10:30 AM

speaking of pain...i got a l33t case of back spasms on Thursday. Took me 45 minutes to get out of my chair at work and go to my car. wasn't able to take a full breath until 3 hours later, after i had a muscle relaxant. that there was some kick-ass pain. I completely sweated through all my clothes on the drive home. if I had hit a railroad track or pothole i would've keeled over and died right there.
