well as far as the hernia. you need to get it checked out. i know u said u have no health insurance but there are ways to get some. i had an incarcerated inguinal hernia in 2011. had it removed. but i let mine go for about a year and yes it is very painful.
recently i have chills extreme skin sensitivity in my torso and intense headache. these symptoms have occurred within the last week or so and seem to be getting worse. i am 60 years old and have had a small hernia in my groin for many years which has recently become larger harder and painful. i know i should see a doctor but i have no health insurance. i want to know if this may be a critical situation. thank you for any help.
