no one recently

I guess very few guys in 20's have it

**pavyracer** · 03-22-11, 03:59 PM

JJ did you go to a doctor to get a diagnosis or did an old lady read your tarot cards?

**Cuse0323** · 03-22-11, 04:08 PM

Just found out I have a hiatus hernia, whatever the fck that is. Don't think I need surgery, gotta go back soon.

I had one done in 2003, very painful but you need to get it done if you have one. Depends on where it's at you could die from strangulation.

I had a 2 for 1 special....I've got lots of mesh to prove it when the x-ray's go through. It takes a couple weeks of downtime to have the pain to go down, but no long term issues at all

**BettingWizard** · 03-22-11, 06:01 PM

my dad just got it. It only takes like a week to recover

2 weeks????

I heard like 3 days and they give you pain killers

**bondi_slacker** · 03-22-11, 07:05 PM

I had the 2 inguinals and 1 umbilical and did the three on the same surgery, the recovery was pretty good, that same evening i was walking (with struggles obviously) and went to the bathroom on my own. I had only to stay 1 night at the hospital and went back to school 3 days after surgery.

the best thing about it was the anesthesia!

jj u rideing bulls again

**Coldpimpin** · 03-22-11, 11:20 PM

I've had sciatica for almost nine years now. Never did get the surgery and the pain is almost gone now!

**jjgold** · 03-22-11, 11:29 PM

I guess key is how big they cut

I might need this done soon

**BranchDavidian** · 03-22-11, 11:35 PM

I've had a hernia for about 12 years now. Been just ignoring it, but it does seem to be getting a little worse for wear as time goes by. Every once in a while I will try to push my insides back in if it starts to feel uncomfortable, but there really doesn't seem to be any point to this attempt any more. It used to help for a few minutes, now I might as well not bother. If it gets any worse, perhaps I will get surgery, but I will try to hold out until I qualify for Medicare. I suppose yours is in a worse area, or inhibits your movement so you don't want to live with it?

**jjgold** · 03-23-11, 05:30 AM

Brancher it does not bother me much but getting bigger and pain in the stomach from time to time
I think I am going to get it done very very soon

Brancher I would go for it also

Watch the reality show on the Golf Channel about Mark Burke,the 53 year old homeless sort of pro golfer without health insurance who has a hernia that bothers him when he plays.They are going to get him free surgery for it but the guy is in for a surprise if he lugs around his own golf bag because within a year he will need surgery again.The motive of the story is,from the time you are a kid you should snub manual labor and take up playing the piano.All manual work will do for you is turn you into a heavy drinker,make you hang out with a bad crowd,get you a whore for a wife and put you in an early grave.All that talk where people shame others for not wanting to be a good worker or hard worker is socialist bullcrap.Take the easy route and don't aspire to want alot of huge material possessions that you have to kill your body and you will live alot longer.

I had a bad time after mine for weeks, maybe 2 months. But I went back to work 3 days after the surgery and think I kept tearing everything apart.

**floridagolfer** · 03-23-11, 07:30 AM

It's a piece of cake; you never feel a thing. I guess there are levels of severity and possible complications, but I experienced none of this.

**jjgold** · 03-23-11, 07:36 AM

Seems to me the consensus is as far as pain its like the first 3 days and then you just need to not do too much heavy lifting and or stressful activities

**mcbaseball10** · 03-23-11, 08:32 AM

Had a sports hernia operation following my junior year of baseball. Went through entire season with it was very uncomfortable. Ended up having two hernias fixed at the same time. One inch cuts with mesh plugs inserted. Pain was not bad first week after. One month later was playing baseball again.

Going to dr today and figure this out

JJ walking to the doctor's office today: "Hey Doc I just got some advice about my hernia from some gamblers at a gambling forum. Now what do you think should I do?"

**Dark Horse** · 03-23-11, 09:13 AM

I would recommend a 'network chiropractor' over any surgery. Had major lower back pain many years ago. Very debilitating. Then this chiropractor I knew told me about network chiropracting. He told me to come in three times a week for one month. I did. The pain disappeared and never returned. He didn't crack anything. Just applied gentle pressure on a few spinal points. Lot cheaper than surgery too.
