[oldpot]

hi new here ,
i had a Inguinal Hernia for over 3 years on my right side , due to i cannot afford surgery for it , now and again i get dull pain and some burning sensation but its not that bad , i think its dropped down the Inguinal canal, as i can feel it near my right testicle and i do get more pain there due to i got chronic epididymis comes about, and i feel it pushing (rubbing)against the epididymis (feels like it does)more when sat . i still tend to my veg garden bike and walk and do other normal things (i don't know if biking a good or bad thing)i never had support truss for the hernia, question can i still start and use a support truss to help it? does the hernia cause other problems around that area to other organs ??i heard could be dangerous if not sorted out with op?? and any other info would be appreciated

Hi - are you wearing any form of support at all ?

[wilson strausser]

No, Andrew, I do not wear any support for my incisional hernia, which is a different animal from an inguinal hernia. I don't know how your hernia was caused so I hesitate to make any suggestion.
My hernia does not produce burning or pain and may not be a hernia at all but could just be post-op fluid build-up, although it does manifest about the size of a golf ball to the left of the bellybutton. It disappears when I sit down and pulling the stomach muscles tight moves it in as well.
I expect you would know more of what is going on with an xray.
Prayer is the only method of healing I can suggest other than refusing to accept the hernia.
Best; Wilson

Hi Andrew,

 

I believe the concave works better because it doesn't allow the intestines to slip out. I used a concave foam piece for my inguinal hernia. Concave holds it in place. I used that bit of foam from a truss with a jock strap that was 2 sizes to small, assuring a tight fit. I had the hernia 4 ten years. In the 9th year or so I started doing exercises for the lower abs, that's laying on my back and bringing my knees to my chest and lowering my feet, toes pointing toward the floor as close to my butt as possible. If you raise your butt off the floor, you've stopped using the lower abs. One set of 40, 3 times a week. After 6 mos (that's a guess) my hernia stopped falling out. I still do the lower ab exercise, but I don't have the hernia any more. But I have to admit that I was doing other exercises for a bad back. One that I found very good was laying on my back, feet on the floor or on a chair, and pushing my back into the floor and holding it for 10 secs. 3 sets of 12. The harder you push ur back into the floor, the tighter your abs will get. Don't over do. It's an easy exercise and strengthens the gut for flat abs. To balance the abs, lay on your stomach, raise up on elbows and toes and hold for a minute. Keep your back straight. Good for a strong back. Work up to 2 minutes. If you do too much, like working 4 5 minutes, you're liable to suffer burn out and stop doing the exercises altogether. My general opinion of physicians in general and surgeons in particular is that they are worthless except in cases of auto accidents and gunshot wounds. Good luck!

 

Yours,

 

Dutty

Andrew,
I've been using a Flat Pad Support from The Support Company for three
years and it has been enormously helpful. What you describe suggests
that the hernia may be worsening if it continues to drop, so I'd be
careful in that regard. I purchased multiple trusses of the same from
that company because they need to be cleaned often. I also do Pilates,
ride a stationary bicycle, walk a lot, and am about to commence
regular swimming. I'm intent upon healing the hernia entirely by the
end of 2013. I keep records of what exercises I do so as not to become
lazy or fool myself.
Yes, I firmly advocate wearing a real two pad support for your hernia.
Money well spent!
Also, I'd definitely NOT do surgery under any circumstances.
Blessings,
Ian

Hi Dutty,

Hope this finds you well and glad to hear your hernia is going away! I was wondering about this ab work you posted here. Do you mean not to lift the lower back off the floor in relation to lifting your knees? I find if I try to keep the whole of my butt cheeks down on the floor, I can't get my knees nowhere near my chest.

I also am very physically fit as I train and compete in Triathlon as well as provide coaching to triathletes. I may be delaying healing, however, I am getting better a=nd at the same time staying in top physical condition. I also believe in EFT to help facilitate healing.

Regards,

Jake

I'd be very careful with a support. I used one for many months, and continually got excruciating pain in my lower back (possibly similar to sciatica). I had to take pain killers. Eventually, I decided that it was likely caused by the truss, and I discontinued usage of it. Since then I have not had the pain return. I think that the truss cut-off the blood supply. I still haven't had the hernia repaired because I'm too afraid. I had a surgical procedure some years ago that caused all sorts of problems - and possibly the hernia as well. Consequently, I'm very wary of medical procedures.

FWIW, I had a reducible left inguinal hernia until it disappeared a few weeks ago. At age 62 eight years ago, I stopped playing competitive softball two or three times weekly during six of the warmer months. So, my guess is that my groin muscles likely weakened somewhat over the past few years, enabling the hernia to form.

In order to lose a few pounds, I began an exercise regimen a bit over a month ago, working my core muscles and doing hundreds of "sissy" (1/4) body-weight squats a day, among other basic exercises. [I can still do an ass-on-the-ground full squat with a maximum barbell weight of 280 pounds.]

I attribute the total absence of the hernia to the exercise. All it took for the hernia and any hydrocele (scrotal fluid) to disappear was a bit over a week of daily exercise. While I had the hernia, I did not bother wearing a truss because the hernia was situated too low for the truss to work--just lived with it because there never was any pain.

Hi Ty,

I've had an inguinal hernia on my right side for about three or four years. It came about during a martial arts workout. I'm in my late Sixties, close to Seventy years of age. I wear the Support Company truss pretty much all the time and it has been of considerable help. In fact I own about eight of them as they get dirty and need to be soaked and hung out to dry. As for exercise, I do Pilates to help heal the hernia — although not as much as I intend to do at this stage — and do a regular gym workout several to four times a week with the stationary bicycle, weight machines, free weights, and punching bags. I've experienced no damage or enhancement of the hernia from these workouts.  I also swim and use a hot tub and sauna while doing full lotus yogic exercises to lift and strengthen the area. As for being outside in the world, if I feel the hernia has slipped out and down, I go somewhere, rest on my back, and tuck it back in. Or I just stick my hand in my pants and do so. My feeling is that the medicos have invented the thing about the hernia dropping into the testicle area and not being able to get it loose or free. It's a rationale for surgery in my estimation. The guys I know who've had the surgery for hernia have had hernia reappear in that area, so I'm no inclined to do that route. I feel the Support Company trusses are great, a careful selective diet is very important, and a steadfast program of exercise to fully and completely heal the hernia. Yes, I would order two trusses in your size and use them regularly. Otherwise, don't worry about it and just live your life out fearlessly and lovingly.

Ian
