Bucking the usual Talkbass tradition of getting medical advice from the collective genius that is OT, I went to an actual doctor and had him feel me up to see if we could narrow down possibilities. Looks like a possible sports hernia as I have neither the bulge nor the associated pain in the pressure points he prodded.
This is in stark contrast to my diagnosis of tearing up my insides by hauling around my massive ego. Go figure. Anyway, since he's not positive, I get to "take it easy" for another month, try working out again and see if the pain returns. Simply awesome.
I don't have a question, I just thought I'd feed OT by proving another uncomfortable personal situation for it to consume.

Mike | Haha.
But damn, 20 bucks for co pay? Every time you go to the doc? Ours is like 12. |

Mike | True. But a sixer is a sixer. And since twenty bucks is the most I have had in my wallet for the past year or so, I don't plan on going to the doc unless it's an emergency. Then they can just take me out back and shoot me. |

That's worth $220 right there. (No copay for me - I get the whole enchilada.)
