Hernias
Hi. I did a search and found nothing relevant, though I can't believe this hasn't been touched on (cough, cough) before.
I did my medical last week and the doctor said I had a near-hernia. He passed me, and said not to worry about it, but of course I am.
I have a "weakness," he said. This pronounced as he felt my abdomenal wall, around my waist, while I coughed on demand.
There's apparently no exercise or anything else I can do except hope for the besr.
I have two small children whom I lift a lot. I am trying to practice good lifting technique.
Is there anything else I can do? Can I improve, or is it just a matter of avoiding further degradation?
