I have a slight twige in my side, and one of my nuts feels a little different. I think i may have twisted one of my balls on the horizontal leg press, nothing hurst, just a little twinge like i said.
 
If you actually twisted a nut you would know it. It is a medical emergency. Hernias can or cannot have symtoms. They are easy to diagnose-- so see a doc and have it checked. Most hernias are on the right side and can or cannot be associated with testicular pain.

it isn't pain, but i can feel something, kind of like when you get a little twinge in your hammy, but haven't pulled it. It doesn't hurt at all when i lift.
 
if it not bulging out don't worry

just watch your self and dont sweat it

the last thing you need to do is be paranoid about it.

just warm up bro and pyramid your sets



there are several kinds of hernias

Inguinal
Hiatial
and
imblical


ALOT have the hitial one and don't even know it

one symptom is frequest heart burn, and the burping up of bial........


but again sometimes this can just be a strain.

If your nut starts swelling go to a doctor, you may be developing epidamitis (sp) if left untreated it can be extremely painful for a few days. Also if you even suspect a hernia its a good idea to get checked out, because even a small hernia may pinch off a piece of intestine and cause severe infection, even gangerene.
 
Liftsiron is correct but the % that cause intestinal strangulation is very very very low. Hernias are more a bothersome thing-- not very acute. They do not ALL bulge out either. Sometimes the tear causes the bulge to go into the scrotal area so it is not as visible. Epididymitis usually presents as a dull ache that after a while makes you want to tear someones face off. If you palpate your testicles, you will have a tender area where the infection(epididymis) is.

If it is epididymitis, the txmt is support, rest and usually antibiotics. Sometimes, it clears with just rest and support.

At this point, wear your tighty whities while training and take some Motrin. If symptoms dont resolve in 1-2 weeks or worsen seek care from a doc. Been there done all the above stuff incl hernia surgery. Fun!

This is what i was thinking also. I just did cardio for 40 minutes and it feels better. I think now it just may be a strain, but i am going to be careful for a while, sucks when this happens on cycle.
 
i have had two hernias from deadlift(i think) the operation hurts like fuck if you let it go to long .if the pain doesnt go away go the doc
