Sounds like fun. I had a hernia for many years and through many strenuous activities, but when I got unfit and fatter in recent years it started to give way and cause unpleasantness. It's an odd feeling when it tears a bit - not very painful, but just not nice. I had it repaired under local anaesthetic; horrible, but quite fast and lowest risk. I hated every second of that, but would do it again if needed. I now have gauze in there to reinforce it, which I can feel every once in a while. No other issues though.

To check if yours is a hernia, the normal test is to put your hand on the lump and feel if it kicks when you cough. ...but do see that doctor
