Athletic pubalgia (Sports hernia)

[Digital_Damage]

Just got diagnosed, happened during a vigorous squat session.....

Surgery not covered under insurance and considered "elective", stupid BS

12 week rehab after surgery.

Looks like I'm going to get fat and broke.

FTMFL...

That sucks, but in the grand scheme of things 12 weeks is nadda in the decades of training you/we do, and you'll be able to do some light stuff fairly quickly. Easier said when you're not the one dealing with such things, but I can say BTDT for far worse and as my mother used to say "this too shall pass, so STFU kid"

Not covered? Good God...I hate insurance companies.

Thanks Obama.

How bad is it? I've been rehabbing one with self-directed conservative treatment for 9 months, and making steady progress. It's not really holding me back from doing anything.

True, it is just tough going from 6 days of heavy lifting a week to nothing overnight.

Body craves it, I guess I can get caught up on the trigger time I have been putting off...

Nope, considered elective since It could "eventually" heal on its own.

It's bad... can't get through even one set of curls without it swelling up.

Don't have 9 months to not go hard in the gym, so I'm electing to go the 12 week route.

That's such complete bulls!t... So glad we have the ACA to make sure that insurance companies can't just screw policy holders.

I hope you can get that taken care of ASAP. Looking back, I wish I'd have taken care of some things right away, as they became permanent through putting it off. Sometimes sucking it up doesn't pay off.

Totally get that, but 6 days per week of heavy lifting likely a causative factor to developing it I'd guess. The body will not tollerate 6 days per week of heavy lifting for prolonged periods without injuries, OTS, etc

Learn to meditate
Yoga (when cleared for mild exercise)
Range time
Long walks
etc
