help!!!! hernia?

[ttimbo]

I think i have a hernia. There is like a bulge above my belly button. I want to get it checked out but i dnt have money to do that! plus if i do have a hernia it would take surgery and i really cant pay for it. i rarely even get to use a computer but im staying with my freind who is like 5 and im like 14 so he isnt a very good help. hes my only freind so i cant really go to any1 else. im homeschooled. and my parents are barley paying for our house i even have to give my money to help pay for it! its really hard i looked up a hernia and i have some of the sighns.

my sighns:
bulge in stomache,
and the feeling of hunger all the time but only in that spot i know im hungry cause i dnt get to eat that much but i dnt think thats just it,
i have pain in that spot
its brownish around my belly button.

well what im askin for here is not what should i do its more how can i make myself feel better till i save enough money for surgery and for a checkup!?!

Well, I had a hernia some years ago but it was in my scrotum. That does sound like a hernia. No matter the cost, health comes first.

I dont think it is a hernia, I have a hiatal hernia. But I could be mistaken about yours. Mine when I am under a great deal of stress it starts and I can not eat, drink, or shollow w/o pain. Also you dont always have to have surgary you can also get a perscpirtion for it.

I would talk to your parents about the issue, they may then take you to a doctor just to be safe, the health care system should look after you pretty well (depending on where you live), it's best to have a look rather than just leave it there.
