[USER=”2908″]Bestoption[/USER] I share several of your symptoms. But there’s a difference…my symptoms appeared rather suddenly, mostly within about 6 weeks of each other… and even though I’ve had asymptomatic “small bilateral fatty inguinal hernias” showing up on CT scans for many years the hernia docs here on Long Island, NY (I’ve seen 2) are not so confident in surgery because they don’t seem to understand how my urinary symptoms and lower abdominal sensitivity, bloating and bladder area sensitivity (and urinary frequency) relate to hernia…so they have both pushed me off and told me to first try and rule out all other possibilities.

Well, the only other thing any other doctor thought I may have so far is CPPS (chronic pelvic pain syndrome)…but a few months of physical therapy has not seen such good results so im not at all convinced I have CPPS, and my wife and I are tired, completely stressed out and do not know where to turn at this point. We are also going through financial hardship as due to all my discomforts the last 10 months I have not been able to work. We cannot afford to see docs who do not take insurance.

In fact, she recently tried posting about my condition right here on this forum, we’re hoping to get some sort of guidance as what to do about this:

I’d like to know how you are feeling this month…have you seen any other docs yet? Has CPPS been mentioned to you yet as a possibility?
