Occult or hidden hernia?
I thought my appointment was successful in the fact that I now have a treatment plan for my pain. CT scan and ultrasound showed scar tissue but surgeon felt that removal would create more scar tissue and would do more harm than good removing. The CT scan did not show any tears and in his opinion their isn’t anything surgical to be done. I asked about an MRI like you explained and he did not seem to think it would give him anymore information than the CT scan had. He has referred me to a pain management doctor who is going to do injection therapy at sight of pain. He said I more than likely have scar tissue and nerve damage at sight of blunt force trauma. I do not know anything about nerve damage and I still wonder if that and nerve damage could create the level of pain that I feel and when and where I feel it. I also do not understand why in his physical exam he felt two masses to the right and left of my umbilical area but those did not show up on CT scan. Could that be scar tissue? I am going to try the pain injection and hopefully I will get some relief. Any thoughts?
