Once you start looking, you think you find it

The other day at my work, I picked up a dead guy and put him on a shelf in the fridge. When I picked him up, though, I felt a little pain sensation in my lower abdomen region. Stupid, I know. Anyway, that was about two days ago. Now, as of tonight, I'm convinced I have a hernia. I have no visible signs ( no swelling of the groin, no swelling, no pain, etc) but I'm convinced. My fiance felt the area and says that there's no buldge (even though I think I feel one). AHHHH...

I have a scar down there from when I had a hernia as an infant, and I'm convinced that's where the new one is.

Anyway, I can't really check now because it's probably just in my head. Crap. I guess I should go to the doc tomorrow if I still feel like something is there...

I just KNOW that someone's going to make a post asking you why you're posting this on an internet board rather than just going to the doctor right away. :mrgreen:

It's 9 at night and this really isn't something to rush into the emergency room with. The really bad thing about this is that I don't get medical insurance until December.

I dont think this is a medical insurance issue. A work injury is covered by workers comp. However, you need to report it to your supervisor.

Probably nothing there...BUT...there's something in your head...

You're hypochondriac. :wink:

Or it should be something similar what those people feel who lost a limb.

They still feel the presence of it after months or years.

He's cruising the morgue, looking to score?

Superman, please don't kill me. I don't want to die a virgin.

If it's any consolation, you wouldn't get buried a virgin... :wink:

Is hernia when they check you by grabbing your nuts and making you cough? Or is that something else?

With no symptoms of a hernia, could be a deep muscle strain, partial abdominal tear, something to that effect. still, bring it up to your supervisor. worker's comp, baby, worker's comp.

Worker's Comp is your friend. Especially if you do something stupid like trying to catch a falling box and have it bend your wrist backwards.

While I have come to suspect there is a smiley for everything somewhere on the web, there's none in emoticons/view more emoticons (at least for me).

Laughs all the way, here.

And workman's comp is a good thing here; even if it's something minor your boss may be happy that you took care of it before it developed into something that would have cost him a lot of money.

This reminds me of Chuck Sonnenburgs idea to open a chain of brothels for Necrophiliacs with the slogan "Crack open a cold one".
