So the other day, I had an ultrasound in a place where I have had a pain in my abdomen since I was 17 years old. At that starting point, it makes it well over thirty years that the pain has been on and off.
They did find one. There are a couple of problems I have here, however. I drove truck for many years, and I pulled double flatbeds. This means that I lifted 100 to 150 lb tarps onto the front and back of two trailers each day. Once, five feet to the deck,and once six to eight feet to the top of the load. How did I not aggravate the hernia?
The second problem is, the pain has moved to the other side. Instead of being on the right side, it's now on the left. Did the hernia move? In my understanding of hernias, this is not a usual occurrence. I hate to call my doctor, but I guess I'm going to have to, and tell her that it's now in a different location. If she tells me it's probably the hernia, I'm thinking I may need a different doctor.
