Ive had this horrible burning/dull aching
pain in my groin for about 5 mths now.
After 5 mth off hellish pain, I decided
time for a trip to the docs! It was then
I was diagnosed with a hernia. The doctor
gave me some pain killers but, as you know
there crap!! I was just wondering if
anyone else is having trouble with the
pain, and if so what its like.
Thanks very much, mark

Well, the pain can be quite bad, with me
it always used to be after doing sports,
usually a while after it would start.
Burning like you describe, a dull ache
sometimes or stinging. I sometimes used
to put a hot water bottle on it, if you
want to try that make sure it isn't too
hot, that can make it worse. It helped
relief the pain a bit, but mostly I just
lived with it.
You can try taking hawthorn, that can
relief symptoms and the pain too, it
helped me a great deal. Take some vitamin
q10 (30mg) to help strengthen the muscles,
that may help too.
If you read the thread hernia pain,
symptom relief and healing I wrote down a
couple of things that have helped me get
rid of my hernia, I have been symptom free
for a while now and I am not being extra
careful anymore exercising, I just watch
it with the heavy lifting, but beside that
I seem to be sorted.
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon,
lena
