What should i do? feeling really lost!
Hi, I’m Gale based in Manchester UK and wondering if anyone here can help me
I’ve been having severe lower abdominal pain for a few months and cant seem to find the source of it – from reading all the posts I tend to believe I have hidden hernia but don’t know who I can turn to
My pain gets worse as I move about, bend down, carry laugh,raise my voice but not any worse when I cough, there is no bulge and the main place it hurts is at the 2 ends of a C- Section scar i had 5 years ago
I’ve spent a few days in hospital in which I had a dynamic ultrasound that said ‘borderline bilateral indirect reducible hernias?’ but then on the CT scan they couldn’t find anything so they discharged me
Do you think it’s likely I have hidden hernia?
Is there anyone you can recommend in the UK (preferably in Manchester area)
Thank you very much -

does it make sense that hernia would cause so much pain? should i be looking out for other problems?

Thank you very much,
I’ve made a private appointment with Dr Sheen. -
There is Dr. Aali Sheen who is one of the surgeons on this forum. Look him up at http://www.manchesterherniaclinic.com. That may be a good place to start. Dr. Towfigh has presented research on imaging for occult hernias and CT is not a very reliable test and a negative CT does not mean that you don’t have a hernia. Your symptoms certainly sound like you could have a hidden hernia. Best wishes!

Thank you for your concern.
The sonographer wrote ? borderline and the CT couldn’t see anything so the consultant decided that I don’t have hernia and sent me home.
I am 95% certain that I do and I am trying to find a consultant with experience in women’s hidden hernias who will diagnose me.
I have had no intervention as yet but I have been having serious pain for about 6 months on and off, usually triggered by lifting or running. -
sorry to hear about your pain :(. Maybe I read wrong but your ultrasound said you have hernia? right
do you have a mesh?
how long did you have the pain?
what triggered the pain? heavy lifting ..?
