hernia??

[bobdouk]

Hi mark.
I am 37 and i have been 7 weeks in the basic S.S program
Last time i was doing squats with 55kg and i was struggle to finished the rep(i am weak) and felt a strange feeling in my abs and my colon.I had a minor sensitive discomfort at my left testile after that.
Now 2 days later, after deloading 15%(i was hitting a wall for third time) i dont feel anything, or maybe i feel something at my low left abs, but maybe it is my idea. I squeeze my abs to check it.
I have no protrusing, do you think i am over reacting?
I read about hernias from weightlifting all the time.

Hernias do not happen from weightlifting. They may occur during weightlifting in men who are predisposed to having them. They may also occur while working or while taking a dump. Sorry for the American idiom. Get yours checked by a physician.
