How do I know if I am getting a hernia?

I’m 29 – Female.
I jog for 40-60 minutes a day
I do hundreds of crunches on an ab roller.. hundred b/c it isn’t much work.

I had a cramp pop OUT of my right front side today… 1-2 inches up and to the right of my belly button.

I had to breathe deep and massage and push it back in. I am sore there.

I was sitting on the toilet and could not get up… I could not sit up and when I looked down and saw it I nearly passed out. but once I pushed it back in I was fine.
I’m getting married the weekend after this one and I have tooo much to do … I cant go to a dr anytime soon. And we have a weeklong honeymoon afterward. I work overnight and MUST sleep from 8am-2pm
I am NOT postponing the wedding.

This could be a hernia, but one can only tell by having a doctor do an examination for one. Hernias leave distinct signs that a doctor is trained to look for.

What could my shoulder pain be?

My right shoulder has started to hurt – it feels like it burns but it also radiates up the right side of my neck and down my right arm to my elbow.

Heat, movement and massage have exacerbated the pain, ice seems to help the pain a little bit.

I have been self-medicating with a naproxen/tylenol mix during the day and tylenol with codeine at night. (I have an as-needed perscription of codeine because I was diagnosed with arthritis 5 years ago, at the age of 16). This is not an arthritis-like pain. This is a hot pain that radiates. Even with the medications that I have been taking, the pain is not becoming palatable.

My grandma has fibromyalgia, and I know that is hereditary, but is this what I am experiencing? What can I do about it? AH! it hurts really bad – it keeps me up at night. Are there any herbal supplements or anything I can try? What else can I do?

P.S. I am a senior nursing student in a 4-year program, you can use medical jargon with me.

maybe bursitis

and why couldn’t it be arthritis and just a severe flare?

FMS is WIDESPREAD pain–not isolated to a specific area

be aware thatfms is highly overdiagnosed by incompetant docs who use it as a general label for pain…you should use your education to confirm that grandma was properly diagnosed and isn’tsuffering needlessly from something else more treatable
