Hey Brandon I feel your pain. They told me my mesh was in place too. They lied. I had to learn how to read the imaging myself because I kept being told nothing was wrong with me. I even had a radiologist record on preliminary report his findings as “mesh migrated across abdomen wrapped around testicle testicular pain pulled shorts all the way down artifact still showing moved for delay”, when I went to the ER for cutting sensation in spermatic cord area and behind testicles. Only to have the attending radiologist change the final diagnosis dor the CT scan to “right inguinal pain, patient fixated on mesh migrated across abdomen wrapped around testicle” with a clinical diagnosis of, and educational materials about home care for “Testicular Pain: Unknown Cause” I probably have you licked in the complexity department but that is not my purpose here. After I learned to do the analysis myself, I found so many things wrong inside me that I thought I must not have as firm of a grasp as I anticipated, because I trusted the competency of the radiologists and medical professionals to have a better understanding than I did. There was just no way there could be as many issues plainly visible to me, someone who literally had 3 days of learning experience. Certainly I’m overestimating my abilities to diagnose. I found a way to check my knowledge with AI. I uploaded the files to ChatGPT and instructed it to analyze meticulously for any abnormalities focusing in the specific areas I was feeling it internally, as well as the original hernia mesh repair site. I was blown away with validation of everything I found by computer analysis. My insides have remained in that condition for 2 years being told everything was fine inside. I just did the AI thing a couple of weeks ago, and have it analyzing all imaging I found unreported major and obvious issues. Then maybe I can actually get it fixed, instead of all medical personnel denying I even have a problem. I am having it prepare a comprehensive analysis and report with findings highlighted and labeled to bring to the next doctor I go see. My suggestion to you is either learn to analyze and present a comprehensive presentation if you do find the mesh has moved or deteriorated while still “in place”. ChatGPT is another easy option for another unbiased look to check the state of your mesh and internal issues you may be experiencing pain from. It doesn’t cost anythjng(until you start sending vast amounts of files, then it just limits you if you don’t upgrade for $20/month for plus plan. That shouldn’t be necessary for second opinion purposes. Just tell it what your symptoms are issues you have been having, etc and it will do the rest and give you a detailed report. It does need you to remind it to focus on certain areas, or it will misconstrue what you type. Spelling errors on reports etc. Just a little buggy, but it analyzed fairly well. I was impressed with that aspect.. Worth a try if you believe it may not be there. Many unethical doctors, possibly affiliated with the hospital where surgery was performed, will watch each other’s back and protect their employer from potential lawsuits, rather than prioritizing the patients well being. I’m not saying that’s the case, but I suggest you look into it. The AI could even tell you if there are affiliations. Anyway, Im5sure you will come across my living 2 year nightmare at some point on here. It’s just not the time yet. I hope you feel better and your pain issues are managed properly and well. Stay informed, have a great day.
Nothing out of the ordinary on these CT slices here at all. Perfectly healthy, obviously. Medical professionals have assured me there is nothing wrong with me…. More to come …someday.
