Reply To: Watchful, could you summarize your experience at Shouldice?

[William Bryant]

That all sounds like good news Watchful and progressing albeit slower than you may want.

From what I’ve read it all takes time, more so after tissue repair.

The healing ridge can take months so don’t despair. Also the numbness, I once had 2 prolapsed discs pressing on sciatic nerve, eventually my leg went numb. It took about a year for normal feeling to return. That was nerve disrupion without major surgery so again in your case I think its a matter of time. As good intentions said, the body continues to heal so every reason to be optimistic.

It’s good you got the other issue sorted, if it’s ok to ask who discovered it and did Shouldice rectify or another surgeon/clinic?

Thanks for keeping us informed it’s very useful and appreciated.
