Help With Hernia Pain
I am located in Dallas, TX and go to the Dallas VA and they are the ones that are saying I am going to lose my testicle and leg. I did have a small hydrocele and some kind of cyst, at least that is what the last urologist told me at Duke University in NC while I was stationed in Fort Bragg. I have not heard or been told about the varicocele nor have I been told that I have one. I have tried to use my private insurance through my job and they denied the claim as the VA and Tricare did not take the paperwork that stated I was covered during the time of the hernia and hernia complications. I just saw another doctor at the VA yesterday who told me about this page and wanted me to put it out there for help, because he told me I either need to have every nerve burned or removed and refused to remove the mesh because he said I was at such a high risk to lose my leg and testicle. I am lost and I need help, I have had spermatic cord blocks, nerve blocks and more medications than I even have wanted to be on just to be told I am going to have to live like this forever and deal with it. I am hoping this page helps or yo can point me in the right direction. Thank you for your time

Help With Hernia Pain
Thank you for your response and I am now out of the military and I do live in Texas now. I have consulted at least 5 civilian surgeons and over 10 VA and military surgeons. Going after the doctor is not a option, already tried can’t sue or fight the military if they mess up medically because it is in the fine print of the contract and they don’t normal side with the enlisted verses officers. I have avoided lossing my testicle or my leg. I will look into these doctors you mentioned and I will keep fighting because I know there is light at the end of the tunnel I just don’t want to get to far down that tunnel and miss the moments to the end. Thank you again

Thank you for your response, I have been to various of civilian doctors while I was in the military and now that I am out they refuse to VA refuses to pay. I have insurance through my job and was just denied for coverage because they said it is prior to being covered by them and I had to prove that I had insurance, but by the time the VA and tricare gave them the forms and documents saying I was on tricare and covered under the VA they denied my claim. I am attempting to appeal it and am hitting a lot of road blocks and a VA doctor sent me here for help. I am sorry that your repair had complications as well and I hope you are doing better.
