What should I practice with Jiu Jitsu with hernia injury?
Yesterday in my Jiu Jitsu class I had pulled the hernia while practicing break falling; rather than going to a roll from crouching position I fell back to go into the roll from a slightly higher elevation from the crouch and when I rolled through I felt a pull in the hernia ( before this point it wasn’t bothering me for the first two weeks and thought I would be ok) I did have hiatal hernia ever since I was 20 ; and while I was sparring the pain was a little worse ; so I went to the instructor for an ice pack ( which he was out of) he did tell me to take a couple ibuprofen and rest up and that I should wait to spar after three months in and to take it easy in class with it ; my question is would practicing guard be safe to practice with this injury?( on top of the regular curriculum) and still to take it easy with that as well.

I just got it checked out at hospital and did say there was a small hernia in the area of the injury ( lower left abdomen ; whereas hiatal is the opening of the stomach) ; and it was muscular rather than the stomach; so they gave me an anti inflammatory and T3’s and said I cannot participate for 1 week.

NO. please no. please see your doctor immediately. the results can be so painful (been there) and even deadly (almost went there). a hernia is very serious.

STOP AND TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT IT! A hernia can rupture and you can die! Be safe, and take it careful!

Do you think I should get an ex ray to get it checked?
@AShep82 I'm not a medical doctor, but one will give you better advice than I can. Since you live in Canada, there isn't any reason to not go to get it checked out. Your medical is probably 100% covered by your province. I ended up in the ER once because my BP was very high. Like 190/120. The doctor told me to not work out until I got the BP under control. I got addicted to energy drinks. I'd drink about half a dozen 24 oz cans a day. I haven't drank one since that day. I'm just some guy on the internet. Talk to a professional. Hopefully I'm wrong, but better safe than sorry!
