I would really love to hear more about Dr. Ramshaw’s pre-hab and rehab protocols. I would do everything I can to optimize my chance for a successful removal and
non- mesh repair! Any chance you have this info or any way to get it? Thank you for your time on HerniaTalk Live! I’ve enjoyed the discussions.

  Hi, I am a previous patient of Dr. Ramshaw. I had a mesh implant for five years. Working was almost impossible because of the constant pain. Dr. Ramshaw was terrific. I made two trips to Tennessee. The first was an evaluation and outline of his protocols. The second trip was six months later. He removed my mesh and repaired the hernia. I stayed…[Read more]

@julian
Any way you can be evaluated by Dr. Towfigh? If anyone can help you, she can (speaking from experience!).

Momof4 replied to the topic inguinal hernia mesh repair and allergies/urticaria in the forum Hernia Discussion 3 months, 1 week ago

I was tested twice, once while implanted with polypropelene mesh and once 6 months after removal, looking for a way to repair multiple recurrent hernias. The first time I had severe skin reactions to polypropelene and hybrid with some polypropelene. The second time, with a different allergist and with no mesh implanted, I didn’t react to the p…[Read more]
Momof4 replied to the topic Just a thought….. in the forum Hernia Discussion 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Just wanted to chime in since I’m one of the 10-15% (I think that number may truly be higher). I guess the reason that number seems so large to those of us suffering is because when there is a complication it is a life changing, a lot of times debilitating, complication. I’m hoping moving forward there are things that can be done to make that num…[Read more]
Momof4 replied to the topic Watchful waiting? in the forum Hernia Discussion 3 months, 3 weeks ago

Alephy,
The statement on the UK site is false! While surgeon technique and skill definitely contribute to success it certainly isn’t the only factor when mesh causes problems or fails. I know Dr. Towfigh has said the percentage is small, but some people react to the mesh itself. You can have an allergic reaction or foreign body response (which m…[Read more]

@lkdivers,
Since you are only three months out, hopefully this pain will resolve. I don’t think any long term pain from hernia repairs should be part of the deal or the new normal. Keep seeking advice and help. I’m hopeful there is a cure! Best wishes
Momof4 replied to the topic Small hernia with pain? in the forum Hernia Discussion 4 months, 1 week ago

@alephy
I have had several occult and small hernias that have caused severe pain. I believe Dr. Towfigh has suggested that sometimes the smaller ones are the most painful, especially in women.

@cshelter
I have experience with several different types of nerve treatment. I’ve had a laparoscopic triple neurectomy which I don’t recommend. It has caused bulging in my lower abdomen. I originally inderatood the nerves to be purely sensory and they aren’t. Most any pain management physician can perform diagnostic nerve blocks in office with…[Read more]
