Hello, this forum doesn't seem to active,
but hopefully someone out there will read
this. I was diagnosed with a hernia, I
have no idea of the real name for it, in
august. I went into the er room, with
extreme pain when I walked or moved. That
morning I had woken up at 5am with extreme
pain, I did get up at 6am to vomit, and
went and told my husband I was very sick,
he layed down with me for awhile, because
the kids were still sleeping. The pain
was so excurtiating I was crying. I
didnb't go in right away because I felt I
was constipated, and didn't want to go and
have them give an enema. So I was in pain
all day at 1pm that afternoon, this was on
a saturday I couldn't take it anymore, the
pains were getting to be too much, and
hurting even more, plus I have vomited
twice. We went in, and it took 4 hours
for them to diagnose me with a hernia.
They did not do surgery on me because it
was only a tear, there was no hole, but I
was told it can and will get bigger over
time. I was told not lift anything heavy,
including my children, I have 3, which is
very hard, I don't pick up my son anymore
but my 2 year old somtimes I lift her.
They said not to lift them often but if I
had to then lift by bending at the knees,
whixh I have been trying to do.
Anyhow, I was wondering when I will be
getting surgery for this, I hate the fact
that I even have one as it grosses me out,
knowing I could tear and have a hole in my
intestine. Can you tell if it gets
bigger? I am sure it will hurt even worse
if it does enlarge, I just want to know
when? I get pains once a month now that
range from mild to moderate, where I have
to take painkillers for it to go away. I
was told to go in only if I am vomiting,
hav a high fever, and the pain is worse
then before. Idon't want this anymore,
because it limits me to activities that I
used to enjoy doing! Right now it's
aching a bit, when I get up to walk it's a
little painful, but then again sirgery
sucks, so I am trying not to do anything
for now. I was also wondering if
exercising is bad? My doctor never told
me not to exercise, but then again I never
asked. Thanks for reading this post,
hopefully someone will answer soon!
