Livin\' With A Hernia...
« on: April 06, 2005, 08:42:30 pm »
yeah so, i find out tomorrow if i have a hernia or not.. yay.

hurt myself at the gym 3 weeks ago monday.. thought it was a muscle strain, so i took a week off from the gym.. didn\'t get any better.. went to my doc on monday, turned my head and coughed a few times, and he *thinks* i may have a small hernia, but he wasn\'t sure.. so he set me up with a general surgeon who i have to go see tomorrow.

i\'m thinking the worst. it went from being a discomfort a few days ago to being downright painful now.. no jumping around like an idiot at UAC. :(

Help me out! Dig!
All I do is grunt and groan
Hurts me to walk anywhere
Went to see my physician, Dr. Jones
He took my trousers off, told me to cough
Doctor says there ain\'t nothin\' to discuss
He tells me any day I might have to wear a truss

Living with a hernia
All the time, such aggravation
Living with a hernia
Gonna be my ruination
Living with a hernia
Got to have an operation
Feel so old

Too much bad pain
Good gawd, drives me insane
Can\'t run, barely crawl
Got a bulge in my intestinal wall
Walk real funny, bless my soul
Can\'t play tennis and it\'s hard to bowl
You can\'t even do the splits now... Say it!
Better call it quits now
Now I\'m sick of all this dancin\' anyhow

Living with a hernia
Hurts me bad in a tender location
Living with a hernia
Had enough humiliation
Living with a hernia
Got to have an operation

I live with a hernia
Can\'t get up, can\'t bend over
Now I live with a hernia
Wait a minute...
You may not be familiar with the common types
Of hernias that you could get
So just settle down, let me clue you in
There\'s incomplete
Epigastric
Bladder
Strangulated
Lumbar hernia
Richter\'s hernia
Obstructed
Inguinal and Direct

Living with a hernia...Rupture!
I said it\'s causin\' me such irritation
Living with a hernia
Have to have my medication
Living with a hernia
I feel bad!

Hope ya feel/get better man. General surgeons could be wacky characters, be careful, heh. I\'d recommend one for ya but the only surgeons I\'ve dealt with down there were trauma people. My surgeon up here is good people, just has a few screws loose and likes to carve wooden ducks. . .

shit man I lived with a hernia for 6 years, it got so bad that I couldnt stand on my feet for more than an hour or two. I finaly got it fixed a year ago, life is a lot more easier now.


                                                                                       good luck

Hernia=ouch, but they get sorted easily enough - eventually. My brother-in-law had one which went pretty much undetected for 8 months - docs thought it was irritable bowel. After eating, he was pretty much limited to just sitting down for a couple of hours. Then it popped out and they finally diagnosed it; he was operated on in a week. He was back to renovating his house with no ill effects a month later.

dave you should be fine whether you\'ve got a hernia or not..once they take care of that you\'re all set..

my kitten had a hernia--it was kind cute though, like a belly button..poor guy had it operated on the same day he got neutered. now he\'s as good as new, sort of.

i mean, let\'s have a few more dudes feel around down there for no good reason..

this guy is not sure either. said it\'s hard to tell with small hernias. wants me to take it easy for 2 weeks, get some moist heat on there, and 600mg motrin 3 times a day. and keep feeling around down there for a bulge.. he thinks it may just be a sprained ligament, in which case, i\'d just have to wait for it to heal.. gym needs to be light, if any. no lower body, and no raquetball.. gotta go back to him in 2 weeks so he can poke around down there some more..
