Bump

belt

you can also just isolate the individual parts

deadlift-standard row
squat-you may be tempted to leg press but do not, leg extensions and leg curls

Belts won't save you now, nor will isolation.
If you can't get the surgery, drop everything.
That's right, no weightlifting.
Anything you do has the chance of making it worse

I had a minor hernia that was misdiagnosed. I was told to carry on, and that if the symptoms returned and it was a hernia after all, the surgery would be quick to get.

It tore open. Not just a little, we're talking half my intestines in my nutsack.

I got rushed to emergency surgery. 8" incision, massive mesh patch, 2 weeks bedrest to heal up and let the muscle afix to the mesh. I didn't lose any intestines, but if they hadn't gotten me in I would have died of sepsis within a couple days.

This shit can kill you, so take it really seriously

do belts actually help prevent hernias?

This, be careful OP and just wait it out. Remember that there is muscle recovery so if you lose gains from not lifting for a couple weeks they will all come back soon enough.

get a hernia truss and keep going

Holy fuck

Took me about a year to recover fully, but half of that was because I kept tweaking my hamstrings.

It really wasn't any worse than any other modern mesh repair surgery, just a bigger incision with complications to clean up.

Standard mesh is ambulatory surgery, outpatient (even if done in a hospital), and depending on your pain tolerance you could be back at work and on weight restriction in less than a week.

Depends. If you're not genetically pre-disposed to them (it's an anatomical thing per location) then a belt will help if used properly. I f you have a weakness anywhere due to previous injury ( ie strain) or anatomical flaw, then it's just a matter of time.

If you have a minor one, and you get diagnosed quickly enough and on to road to surgery immediately, then you'll likely get laproscopic mesh surgery and be back at normal lifting weights within 3-5 months at worst

i've basically stopped lifting due to a hernia. waiting a few months until i can get surgery. sucks bros. I'm trying to maintain arms and chest i might try some leg extensions/ curls at some point.
