Reply To: Advice before I head to Dr. Kang….possible direct hernia

[Watchful]

Chuck,

I think the person who went there most recently was Alan @alankeen

I would ask him how he’s doing. He reported bad pain issues after surgery. Somewhat similar to what I experienced after my Shouldice procedure, although his sounded a bit worse, and he had to leave on a wheelchair. He hasn’t posted a recent update, so it will be interesting to find out how he’s doing now.

My only other advice (which I mentioned before) is to avoid surgery unless you get properly diagnosed first.

By the way, don’t assume that it takes months to get an appointment with Dr. Towfigh – check with her office.
