Muscle atrophy
I had an early follow up on Tuesday due to the amount of pain I am having. A CT of abdomen and pelvis showed the mesh is in place and flat and didn’t show any recurrence. I then had MRI of pelvis and spine. Dr. B thinks maybe the pain could be related to a spine issue, since no recurrence was seen. Of course, I worry about whether the scans were read correctly, since they weren’t in the past. He did see some abnormalities at T11 and T12 which could cause groin pain. I am waiting on the report and going to take it to spine specialist in my home town to see if they agree it could cause the amoun of groin and abdominal pain I am having. The pain is everywhere the large mesh is. I have always had some back pain associated with my hernias, but seems referred from groin. I am so thankful that Dr. B is willing to continue to help me. If no success with my back, Dr. B will be referring me to the west coast to see you or Dr. Chen. I told him I have been communicating on this forum, which I am grateful for!
