Actually, good news, it wasn't a hernia. Instead, it was some bullchit infection, in some ingrown hair on the side of my leg, that went to some glands, and made them swell up by where it should swell when you get a hernia.

So, they cut me up, and drained it (freaked me out, watched them slice my leg, couldn't feel a thing, almost passed out, after about 5 minutes).

And I'mma at home sleepin in tomorrow and the next day, and keepin the pain out with vicodin.

did ya take pics? can it top THE TOE(INSERT VINCENT PRICE VOICE HERE)

BTW...GLAD ALL IS GOOD DUDE. :aok

Here's a quick pic, you can see all the blood from it. (still bleeding, and draining. The middle part has a huge cotton string they shoved down my leg (which scared the living toejam out of me, watching a guy shove scissors with string in my leg, you can see it in the middle.)

Just kidding, glad to hear your OK.  :aok

Yep draining things like boils really freaking hurts. It doesn't matter how much local anesthetic they put in there nothing can stifle that pain when that big SOB pops out after they have been cutting, pushing and pulling on stuff for a while.

I had one when I was playing football in college that developed on my right shoulder blade. I put it off until it was about the size of a 50 cent piece and then told the trainers...who told the team doctor...who whipped out his bag of goodies (scalpel, forceps, you name it he had it in the bag) in the training room and I did pass out after I screamed like a little girl about 2 minutes into it.

Popping a zit apparently started the whole problem. It migrated from the side of my leg to my groin, and had swollen up there.

I had something on the inside of my leg about 3 weeks ago that i thought was an ingrown hair so i popped it, about 2 days later my whole leg was swollen and i had 103 fever.  Ended  up being Staph.  :uhoh

Yea, that's what happened to me, I guess. Idk, it's been 2 days now, and the swelling is the exact same as it was.
