    Hi – Tilbis – I am wondering if you have been able to find a surgeon in Canada that deals with occult hernia?

    Thanks,

    Good afternoon Dr Brown – I live in Canada where cannabidiol is legal. I have tried various producers, strains and concentrations of CBD/THC in oil and soft pill form with various success rate. A high CBD concentration is good for pain management and a high THC concentration is good for my restless leg syndrome and TMJ as it acts like a muscle relaxant. I would advise caution with THC as some people have negative reactions to it. A 1:1 THC/CBD product is safer and can help with pain while also calming an overly active nervous system and mind. Overall it’s a process of trial and error to find a product that helps!

    Hi Jen74 – quite some time since you’ve posted last, I hope you found some relief and a long awaited diagnostic. Your story is very similar to mine except that my tiny hernia was finally found in my belly button om 2016. Prior to finding the hernia I was diagnosed with IC, IBS, fibromyalgia and finally central sensitization. Like me you seem to have an extremely sensitive nervous system that goes in override when you’re injured. I got some relief in 2017 when my hernia was repaired by my gynecologist while he did a laparoscopy to rule out endometriosis as a source of chronic pain. At the time I was living in BC. The pain returned 6 months after when I got back on an exercise regime but this time I’m in Ottawa and having no luck with the medical system. So now, like you, back looking for some answers and experts that have an understanding of the problem. Good luck
