Possible hernia but can't see my doctor for a while.

[Teench]

There's a lump to the right side of my groin that hurts when ever I touch it. It does not hurt at all when I don't poke it however. It's hard and when I poke it doesn't really budge.

I think it could be a swollen Lymph Node as I also have a slight cold.

Where else can I go to get it checked out? I really know nothing about medical help. Would it be appropriate to go to the Hospital for such a small thing? Or maybe a small Doctors office?

Really stressed out about this. Any help would be appreciated.

"Groin" is kind of general.. You mean your balls, above your balls, low stomach, what?

Doesn't sound like a hernia to me! Does it move much when you cough? How low on your groin is it?

It's about 2-3 inches above my junk. Towards the right side. Kind of on that crease between your leg.

It doesn't really move when I cough. Not anymore than the rest of my body when I cough.

You must see a doctor for this. You're 17; do you live with your parents? Ask them where you should go. You might have a clinic nearby where you could get checked out. If not, then you should make an appointment to see a doctor. Depending on your health insurance, you might be restricted to which doctors you can see. Again, ask your parents.

Then it is most likely not a hernia in my opinion. I'm not a doctor but I had a pretty bad one so I know what they're like.

How large is the lump, and has it increased in size at all since you noticed it? Also is it still as noticable when you lie down?

I can't see my Doctor for a little while.

I don't have Health Insurance either.

Is there anywhere else I can go besides a free clinic? I really just have no idea where people go for these kinds of things.

Thanks for helping man.

I think its gotten smaller. Not sure if it's still there when I lay down. Trying to avoid touching it. lol

On spread Bro thanks for all the help.

Was a swollen lymph node. Thanks for the help guys.

Man, not to derail, but figured I'd ask here too. I went to my doc a while ago and the pain has been intermittent for over a year right above my right testicle. No bulge, it's like the muscle going down there or epididymitis. Flares up sometimes when I lift. Doc said absolutely nothing...

Bottom Line: Have any of you ever had a strained cremaster muscle or w/e?
