well, finally went to the Dr's about my belly button protruding a bit after working out. Diagnosis: Umbilica hernia. Nothing that need imediate attention but I will now have to scehdule myself for surgery to get it repaired in the future. Thinking about trying to make to Dec. as I have a lot going on between now and then.

Yeah, you'd know it if it were a hernia. I don't have any pain really, just feels weird. The Dr showed me how to tell, when I cough and have my finger pushing in I can feel the small circle where things have gone wrong. I guess its a defect one has from birth (the umbilical type) and all the heavy lifting I have done has aggrivated it over the years.

Funny, a lot of bodybuilding like us have hernia, huh?
