    Could this be a hidden hernia ?

    Dear Dr Towfigh,
    Saw Dr Ramshaw on Thursday July 16. A physical exam was performed and a right inguinal hernia confirmed. Also in left is a small hernia or weekend wall. Dr Ramshaw stated it would be checked as well as femoral during surgery. I’m sure your aware of his relocating to another state so surgery would be 3 to 6 months out. I have decided to have you perform the surgery and he will be submitting a report of his findings to you.

    Just a quick question, you stated MRI confirmed diagnosis, ( I have not had MRI and Dr Ramshaw felt it unnecessary) is this something that is mandatory for you? I am tested out and I don’t think I could handle MRI.

    I will contact Sheila on scheduling the surgery and look forward to meeting you in person and getting my life back. Thank you so much for everything you have done and will do.

    To all who read this forum and are in a familiar situation, DONT GIVE UP!!!
