Hernia Support Group
There are several kinds of hernias, but the all happen when pressure pushes an organ (often the intestine) through a weak spot in a muscle face or wall. Treatment for hernias can be no treatment, to medicines to surgery. Modern surgical methods to treat hernias are much improved over older techniques and recovery times are much shorter.

I've been reading the posts about Carafate and would like to try it to see if it helps with the twinges on my ribs and Hiatal Hernia. But the gastro wants to do an endoscope first without trying anything. Do you think it's worth bringing this up with my gen. internist? It's pretty much in NJ that we get referrals for specialists when I think most of us would really rather just have the gp try different meds before testing.
Hugs to all!
