      Thank you for the reply, but I do not understand should not be there a bulge or something. or a hernia can be under the muscles.

    I have gone in for 2 hernia repairs already, and each time they found 2. I'm going in for another one in two weeks, whether there's a bulge in that specific place or not, there can still be a hernia! Not all doctors will take you seriously if you don't have a bulge, but it's definitely possible. Hope you get it all figured out smile
