From what I have read, "sports hernia" is actually a bit of a misnomer as it isn't actually a true hernia.

What you're describing is a real hernia where you've got the bulge and the whole bit. Sports hernia seems to be a muscular issue in the same area, but without the actual bulge.

Either way, though, I think that you're right about the doctor-specialist-doctor chain... I have an appointment booked for 3 weeks from now (quickest I could get in), and I fully expect to get bounced around for the next few months, unfortunately.
