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 am new to this particular group so I haven't read too many of the questions/answers. I have read just one where someone mentioned surgery for a hiatal hernia. Can someone who had this please explain a little about it? What is the procedure called, etc? Was your hernia small or big? What were your symptoms? Thanks.
Hello I suffered for 2 years with left side rib pain, swelling and it hurt to breathe. Every doctor I went to thought I was out of my mind, kept saying nothing was wrong so I went on with chronic pain for 2 years!. I think I even joined this blog begging for someone to tell me why I have this rib pain.
Finally I meant a chiropactor looking for help to reduce my rib and breathing pain. He is the one that finally told me I have a Hiatal Hernia. Basically he pushed my stomach back down to where it was supposed to be do surgery required. I went back at least once a week until it started to stay down. It may flare up maybe once every 3-4 months, I go see him and he fixes it. Please call every chiropractor in your area and ask if they can fix your Hiatal Hernia. I'm so blessed to have found Dr Cliff, no pain what so ever and I had suffered for years with chronic pain prior too with all other doctors telling my basically I was nuts. "
