<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

Hi guys,

So basically for the last couple of weeks I have been doing some what I thought where rather limited weight lifting exercises. Turns out I ended up with a Hernia.

Anyways the pain started last Thursday and was what I thought just a minor muscle tweak. Then by Friday it had gotten worse but still not severely discomforting just more noticeable. By Sunday it was super painful and I had no idea what the hell was going on. First thing Monday i'm in the doctor and he says its a Hernia or the beginning of one.

Now the doctor tried to assure that this wasn't a concern, that I would need an ultrasound (tmrw night) to confirm and if it was then I may need some minor surgery.

What concerns me is I haven't been given anything to stop the development of this thing and now Tuesday morning (this is a TMI warning) my left ball has really swollen up and to be honest I'm freaking out a little.

Now the doctor seemed very confident that I was in no real danger but this is really scary. I had told him that the pain had spread to 'down there' but at this point there hadn't really been any 
swelling so I couldn't exactly point it out.

Is there anyone hear who has  experience with this and can re-assure me that nothing too bad is going to happen? Also any info on the surgery would be really helpful. I literally know nothing about hernias and all the information I have googled seems very complicated and there are a number of different types (i have no idea what my type is).
<bot>: Diagnosed with the beginning of a Hernia but since diagnosis, left ball has started swelling. Having ultrasound tomorrow. Don't really know what to do. Should I be worried has this happened to anyone else?
