My guesser (doctor) says I have a hernia. However I have no bulging or anything. Just pain on the left side. It feels like a nerve is being pushed against my hip or something. It's 2" down from the belly button to the left by the hip. Sometimes my testicles hurt.

Doc says they don't do anything for this. WTF? So I'm supposed to be in pain for the rest of my life on ibuprophren daily? Not acceptable.

I've downloaded the hernia bible and have been doing the pilates exercizes.

Now the thing that really bothers me is that I'm a musician. When I sing, I sing a lot from the stomach. I play blues. Sing / Guitar. When I sing, this is when the pain is the most.

What do you think? Get another doctor? I'm in the USA, The canada treatment is out of the question due to $$$

Thanks, Kevin
