lifting with a hernia

[Mythos]

I'm wondering about something I've been dealing with.. it's pain with no bulge but very high, almost under the rib cage above my navel. I've had a little discomfort for years but at one point it was so bad that I could barely bend over. I've avoided going to the Dr. because it seems to be improving and it's really high with no bulge. Was hoping it was something minor..
