    Hey @cerebralsuccour thank you for the suggestions. I have not contacted Shouldice being that I never had a traditional hernia in the first place rather I had tearing in the abdominal tissues from overuse from being a dancer. From my experience so far all the surgeons that specialize in traditional hernias rather than dealing with athletes/sports hernias get very very uncomfortable when presented with my case because they are used to dealing with regular people who just get a traditional hernia and never had surgery before. Anything more complex or different they get stuck – at least in my experience. I will look those names you gave me and try to reach out as well. I appreciate your concern and you taking the time with the suggestions.
