Question About Physical!
Hey guys. I am looking into getting my CDL, and was wondering about the hernia part. I seem to have an umbilical hernia, but it doesn't cause me much discomfort or anything. My family Doc blows it off everytime I ask. Would this be something that could disqualify me from passing the physical?

Thanks in advance.

This can keep you from getting your med card, depending on the DR. We had one that disqualified hubby, he consulted a surgeon and got a letter stating that it would not interfere with his job, and then the other doc passed him. granted he was hauling Styrofoam at the time, so lifting wasn't an issue.

Now, he moved on to another job that required lifting, and it did aggravate the hernia, and he eventually had to have it fixed. And got NO work comp help with it either.

If you can, get it fixed, asap. Its your best option.

What about prior health issues? Do they ask you about possible issues like Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Thanks
