Sports Hernia

I had an ultrasound to check for a femoral hernia before I had either hernia operation. Although, I agree that maybe I should have been put in different positions or standing to get a better read.The inguinal hernia was seen by my gynecologist when my fallopian tubes were removed, although he listed in the report that it was insignificant. I believe now that it was more significant than anyone realized, especially because my gastroenterologist couldn’t find any reason why I was so constipated. I actually had 3 surgeries: Laparoscopy-removal of fallopian tubes – Feb. 2012, Open Surgery -Inguinal Hernia Repair – Jan. 2014, and Larascopy – Sports Hernia Repair – July 2014. The last diagnostic test I had was an MRI with an athletic protocol, and I am by no means an athlete. The report read a rectus abdominis tear at the apouneurotic plate. (Sorry for the spelling.) I also have had a few nerve blocks with no relief. I will try the MRI you suggested. It has been 3 weeks since my last surgery and I am still experiencing the same pain. Do I need to give the recovery more time or am right to think there is more going on? Thank you for trying to help me.
