Gross Question For Guys

[blunt smoker]

It could have something to do with breaking a blood vessel from coughing so hard. I remember once in elementary school (and I note this is a long ass time ago), I attempted to lift a table with around 8 people on it. Well all I got was failure and a very, very SHARP pain... I don't need to say where because I'll giggle uncontrollably.. But I ended up finding out that I had busted a blood vessel from attempting to do something so hard. IMO.

umm well i asked alot of my friends about this and they have said when they have puked or coughed hard it's happened to them as well it's a sharp kindda sting almost like a needle kindda thing i'll say again it seems like a muscle contracting to quickly or something along those lines. i mean u could go to the doc but im sure he's gonna say nothing to worry about.

lol that would be a hell of alot of guys with hernias damn can it be that common?? i relate it to working out if anyone has worked a muscle out so much that it locks up on u. the longer u let it go the worse it gets it starts feeling like a muscle is ripping it's that sting that u feel.

Read about inguinal hernias. They're very common. One of the most frequent surgical repairs there is. My husband and son have both had them, which, to me, means they may run in families. When guys are young and their testicles descend, they follow a path called the inguinal canal. That pathway sometimes leaves little weak places in its wake where, with strain, little sections of bowel can poke through. That can cause pain with straining and, if the bowel gets strangulated, it can cause real problems.

Sure, it might just be pain from a pulled muscle or simple straining of some other kind. The point is he can't know until a doctor checks, and he doesn't want to risk having it be a hernia that gets strangulated or gangrenous, especially back there right behind his package, when it's so easy for a doctor to evaluate.

Right on, BG- good info you've given


But yes, see a doctor and TELL HIM/HER YOU SMOKE CANNABIS. What's the worst than can happen, your doctor saying you shouldn't do it? Your life is worth more the more honest you are!

Before I decided to make any brash decisions, I talked to my friends...casually...about it. We were all smoking, and I coughed and the pain happened again, so I said, "Hey, when you guys cough, do you ever feel this pain in your _____ sometimes??" And, surprisingly, they all said they had felt it at some point. In fact, they're situation is just like mine, it doesn't happen every time, its only every once in a while. So, maybe its not code red??

u can go to the doc but i'll stick by what i said b4

[Veratyr Star]

Quit coughin nub.

jkjk.

I've never had that problem before, so I would suggest letting a doctor know and see what he says. They would give better advice then us.

Well oddly enough i have this same prob and i have a hernia (but its been fixed).After i read this thread i decided to call my doc (i was also a little worried) he told me not to inhale so much smoke i told him this was not an option lol. Then he told me when you cough very hard it tightins your muscels very fast especially in that area, which in turn causes them to slightly tare (just like when you work out). He said the only time he would worry bout it would be if the pain did not go away or if i felt a lump under my skin or in my balls. The lump being your guts trying to come through your muscels aka a hernia. This guy knows his shit he has cut me open twice and i have never had a prob at all. He also said if i think its gonna hurt to stand up before i cough and it wont focus so much pressure it that area. If you got anymore ??s tell me and i will call him. Me and his son a regular smokin buds so he dosnt mind the phone calls. Oh yeah he also said to simply inhale then exhale dont try to hold it in especially after you start to cough. hope this info helps i know it helped me.:jointsmile:

Hey! that hit the spot! Didn't freak me out and it sounded like exactly what had been happening to me! Awesome, so now I know. Thanks, man!

I have had that a handful of times over the past couple years, i dont really think its anything to worry about if it goes away after a few seconds, if it continues to hurt i guess see a doctor but im not a doctor anyway so dont take my word for it... i dont think that logically anything could be totally wrong unless it continued to hurt. i think its just a severe cough, try to avoid that if you can, take smaller hits cuz it hurts like fuck.
