I've had a sports hernia since october, and having major difficulty getting rid of it
(I have no visible petrusion) Its April and it still wont bugger off. At least that is what I believe I have. Doctors are useless and just stuck me on a course of "anti inflams" for a 2 week period just as I suspected (and with no actual diagnosis). If I rest for a good week or 2, i start to feel pretty good again but running is a complete no-no so ive been out of the footie team for almost half a year now.
Some say try to excercise it out, others say a large amount of rest. Im trying to balance the two at the moment to build up some sort of power down there again. Special stretches and light weights I reckon is the answer.
Another major downside ofc, ive put a stone on since then so im sat at 90KG at 6ft1 which may only get worse!
