Am I going to die?

[camgear]

Went out for a meal last night, whilst walking to the pub I got a massive stitch in my right hand side, and noticed I could feel a small lump just above my right hip, is this a hernia? It's still there this morning, but not as painful or noticable..

Thought I'd check the PH before I went to the docs

Yes


and


No

[Pints]

Eventually, yes.

Could be a hernia.You will die eventually.You will only die from a hernia if it strangulates and you choose to ignore the agony etc or perhaps if you have it repaired in a dirty NHS hospital.HTH.
