  • Seeking referral for doctor familiar with hidden hernias in women in Boston

    I have been havingpain in my lower left abdomen/ pelvis for close to two years now. I have seen my primary care doctor, gynecologists, gastroenterologist, and a general surgeon. I have had several ultra sounds, two CT scans, an MRI and a colonoscopy. All tests and exams have come back as normal. But things are not normal. I am in terrible pain every day. I have gone from playing tennis 4 times a week to someone who can barely get around the grocery store. I have been diagnosed with IBS but have not gotten better even though I’ve been taking different IBS medicines for over a year. I spent a lot of time lying down with a heating pad
    on my abdomen. I’m discouraged, in pain and missing out on my life.

    Can an someone recommend a surgeon in the Boston area that is familiar with hidden hernias in women. I need help!

    Thanks for your post.

    Please use the Search option on this site (drop down side menu) to seek out recommendations in ”Boston.” I recommend you consider traveling to see Dr Brian Jacob in NY, Dr Gina Adrales in Baltimore or Dr SHARON Bachman in Virginia.
