I know, nobody is usually happy with that, but I am!
4 years back I had to quit running due to abdominal pain. I've seen doctors, been to fysio, many examinations -including röntgen- but no one found anything. Still tried dozens of treatments but nothing helped. A few weeks ago the pain worsened and new symptoms arrived. Without hope I made another appointment, and it was the shortest of all :Inguinal hernia.
The plan is to operate early next year. Hey, what's a few weeks added to four years right? I'm quite sure it's the root-cause but who can say? I don't dare to hope, but driving home I saw myself running again in the back of my head and that's when my vision troubled for a short period.

I love it when I get an actual diagnosis. Most of the time that like 90% of the solution to the problem.

I'm so glad you have a diagnosis! I'm also surprised they couldn't spot a hernia.

I heard and read it's not uncommon to be years to be discovered because the gap is too small. It widens over time
