Inguinal hernia got big quickly
Thanks seeker. I had my pre admission testing today so am set for Thursday morning. I had an appointment with my GYN also and kept him up to speed on the surgery for Thursday. He was at a lecture this weekend so I didn’t get a chance to fill him in. He is going to pop in at the end of my surgery to take a peek in my abdomen with the surgeon after he does the hernia repair. I am going to have him check me for adhesions as I have a terrible history of them and also endometriosis which they don’t think has recurred. I just want to make sure from all ends. I have been dealing with this pelvic/abdominal pain for months and initially it was though it was muscle spasms and I was treated as such. I didn’t have the obvious bulge so diagnosis took longer. Things escalated quickly and the bulge is finally obvious. I think I am getting it on the left side too! Hopefully they will be able to check that once they get in. I really need to get this fixed and back to life as I have not been able to do much of anything because of the pain.
I hope you are able to do your pre ops and stay on schedule. Im glad that you do not have pain that holds you back. Walking 2-4 miles a day is impressive! I hope you can get this done and put it behind you. From your other posts you have mentioned it has gotten large quickly. Is it femoral? For some reason I think you said Inguinal in one of your posts.
You brought up a good point about the mesh. I am having one used for me. The odds seem to be for it. Fingers crossed.
Nervous but hoping to be rid of this pelvic pain.
