Get that thing checked. My youngest had one at 9 months and was back in his bouncer the next day. He's had no problems since and minimal scarring. I obviously am of minimal advice as I don't have a penis, but I've had a regular hernia so I understand to a degree what you're describing...The day I got worried, I couldn't get out of the bathtub because of the massive knot and pain. Better now than after it strangulates. I just lost my insurance when I left my job, so I'm in the same boat. Can't afford Cobra with no income, right?

He's had 3 hernias....so if you need to know more about it, let me know. He's the expert.
$6200?! I had one in '02 and one this year. Each cost over $14k.

I am guessing that the insurance company got a discount. This was in 2000.

Firstly, I wouldn't wait just due to the pain you will endure while a) walking - roughly a 7 of 10. b) Riding a bike smooth surface - 8 of 10 potholes/bumps - 9 of 10 c){and most important} strangulation of the intestines in the hernia.

My Pop had a hernia that he got when he was 34 and when he was 65 it had been strangulated for so long that it had basically lost blood flow and started to rot inside. They doc had to remove like 12-14 inches of his intestines and part of his colon. Was stranded in the hospital with tubes hangin every which way from sunday out of his body. He HATED it, couldn't wait to be out of there. So that will also cramp the riding style as well.

Best bet is to get it taken care of and be down for maybe two - three weeks of the ride season and be healed and not worry about it for a good long time. It is Outpatient.

The cost thing........Well, how do you put a pricetag on your health. If you have kids think about time away from them, if not then think of time away from the beloved motorcycle that will be parked for ever if you wait too long.

Just sayin

Well its just not an option to get the surgery right now, so I'm going to let it ride a bit. Will still make it to the Dr. here soon. Going to have to put the bike up for sale unfortunately. I really thought I could make it to 40 before my body started falling apart, This year I have sprained my ankle twice, developed a nasty shellfish allergy (shrimp was my favorite food) and now have part of my fucking intestines pushing through my body.

If I can baby it along for half a year I should be able to swing it ok. I was planning to compete in Novice at the NAGA Jiu Jitsu tournament in Sept....now I can't even go to class. Fuck!

Thanks for the advice and listening to me vent dudes.
