jnellie Posts: 924 Joined: 2002/02/24	2002/03/26, 05:29 PM has any one any information on this i just noticed a lump in my lower abs near my thigh. this is a self diagnosis but is something that goes away or do you need surgery. how long before you can train after surgery. it does not hurt i think i just did it today thanks...........

Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/03/31, 01:16 AM Well I would say that if you can run (which is quite violent to the body...) then yes, you can weight train as well..... If it's a very good idea I'm not sure. Don't take heavy and if it hurts, maybe it would then be a very good idea to stop and wait to see what the dear doc might say. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....
