    Chronic Pain after Hernia Surgery in April 2011

    Hi there.
    Sorry to hear about your Mom. You had a legitimate concern to consider hernia as a cause of her pain.
    I wonder what was found in the OR and also exactly what technique was used to address it.
    Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is a real entity and is usually diagnosed by MRI or venogram. Was that performed prior to the coiling?
    And does her pain radiate down her leg, around her back, into her vagina?
    These will help figure out your Mom’s problems and hopefully work toward a cure.
