I had an CT scan done on my pelvis and abdomen on 5/21. The doctor didn't think much of it as it just seemed to be an infection in my belly button...which it was. Anyway, to be safe the test was ordered.
I have a f-ing umbilical hernia! WTF, It's one thing after the other. I feel like deads and squats COULD BE the culprit, or maybe it's been there all along and nobody ever knew. The exact verbage, "Minimal umbilical hernia with fat contents." Does anyone know about this or have experienced one? They say I need surgery, but it's not an emergency. Some sites I visited say that they DON'T need to be operated on.
Luckily, there is NO visible protrusion at all, so it must be quite small. Some pictures on the net are really scary. The doctor said I can continue lifting until the surgery, at which point I'll have to take 3 months off!!! Can anyone shed some light on this. How could lifting not make it worse before the surgery...I don't want to start bulging out of my belly button.
