    Femoral hernia, still searching?

    Hi, can you expound on this? “So if your exam is diagnostic, don’t give up.”

    Do you mean the physical exam? The last general surgeon I saw said that there is no reason to suspect a hernia based on the physical exam and that surgery to look for one wasn’t advised.

    The MRI and ultrasounds from 6-10 months ago are normal.

    I feel like I am going bonkers. I feel like there is an ice pick in my groin! The burning/stabbing/tearing pain has taken over my life. I am open-minded about pain clinics/meditation, etc. But I feel like my body is telling me something is wrong, and ignoring it is next to impossible.
