Avatar f tn t get treatment due the the cost. Even here in the US it can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, more then 99% of what the average American can afford. That is a horrible situation to be in. Knowing that if your relative had been here in the US they could survive this disease. Thank you for reminded us how good we have it here in the US despite all of the problems we have with our medical system. Most people, not all, have some form of medical coverage.
942162 tn?1245428214 She is a housedog of course. I am in the process of deciding how much will be involved in getting this repaired and how much it might cost and where I should get this fixed. This has been on my mind every day of every week since hearing t his. Mind you she still has no symptoms. At any rate, she needs routine care if this is not a fatal condition. If it is fixable, how fixable is a diaphragmatic hernia and how costly and where? Hoping I make some sense....
Avatar m tn Hello and hope you are doing well. The common causes for testicular pain are injury, infection and torsion. Injury can cause a tear of the testicular layers or it can cause a hematoma (blood collection). Infection can affect and cause epididymitis or orchitis resulting in pain. Testicular torsion is an emergency as the blood supply may be compromised and needs to be relieved. Sometimes a tumor of the testis can cause pain. Consult your primary care physician for therapy.
Avatar f tn I think that the kind of hernia surgery you are looking at it is a relatively simple surgery, as far as surgery goes. I don't think the dog will have to be put under deep anaesthesia, the procedure is something that is done close to the surface, and it is a fairly quick operation. I would expect a healthy dog to recover well. Your boy might have some activity restrictions while he is recovering, to keep him from pulling the stitches loose and undoing the procedure.
Avatar m tn Third was an open abdominal repair of Hiatal hernia and they were suppossed to put in something called Timesh. 6 months later and I have hernia again and they will need to operate through the chest. When I reviewed the operation procedure notes I couln't see where any mesh was inserted and I am suprised that the hernia recurred as I was told it was unlikely after having the mesh.. In a nutshell I think they forgot to put the mesh in last time..
1666825 tn?1303252659 I have a history of a lot of heart problems as well as had trouble with a hiatal hernia. I read your post on the Heart medhelp board and know your heart has been checked out and no problems were found with your heart. I can tell you from first hand experience angina and GERD problems from a hiatal hernia can cause a similiar symptom, but in my experience you just know when you are experiencing a heart attack. There is no other experience like it.
Avatar n tn I had a few umbilicar hernia operations, the last surgery a mesh was placed in my stomic. Years later I noticed my stomic is geting larger and larger and it is very hard, I was told i need two doctors one for the hernia and the other for the diastasis abd wall. My questions are - 1 would my insurance pay? 2- Do you know of a good Doctor. - Is it a diffacult operation?
Avatar f tn Hello, I used to have extreme pain in the left lower abdomen area (groin area), which was the result of a hernia. I had surgery in July and that took all the pain away. Unfortunately, about two weeks ago, the same exact pain came back. For the past few days, Ive had extreme sharp pain in the same area. I went to the surgeon who fixed my hernia, and she proclaimed that "there is no way the pain is from the hernia".
Avatar n tn I suppose by your post that you do not have Insurance and I'm not too sure where you would get help in this type of situation. If you haven't had positive Mammograms or some form of indication that you may have a suspicion of Breast Cancer I really see no reason for a Mastectomy at this time. I wonder if you have even found a Surgeon who would perform this procedure at this point.
Avatar n tn Our dog had lots of complications, 4 days in the hospital, more than a week of IV antibiotics...lots of things. There is a program called CareCredit (you can google it) that is a credit card that can only be used for either vet bills or medical bills. You could see if you qualify.
Avatar m tn I had laparoscopic surgery to repair an inguinal hernia. After 4 months, the hernia returned, and so I had a second repair surgery by incision. Now, 10 months after the second operation, I'm having some odd "tearing" pains and tenderness under the incision site, and down toward my groin. I'm trying to understand the geometry of the two repairs.
Avatar m tn I could have the surgery done abroad but I a not confident that it would be the best. If I have surgery in the US I must pay out of pocket. Does anyone know what the cost would be at a major hospital in a major East Coast city? Thanks.
494961 tn?1250742077 Yes, your symptoms could be caused by a hiatal hernia. I also suffered from this until fundoplication surgery (which has opened up a Pandora's box of other syptoms).
Avatar m tn My cardiologist said the studies show that it could help me in the long run staying on effient passed the 12 months. If I can afford the cost he recommends it. I had a drug coated stent in the LAD 11 months ago. I ended up with an embilical hernia from being inactive and thenover lifting during my recovery. I need corrective surgery when I can stop the effient. (its not an emergency yet) I went through the cardiac rehab and was looking forward to getting off some of the meds.
Avatar n tn My wife has problems with the size of my penis saying it is too short. She states that it is so short that it is very difficult to penetrate. She states that the positions we have to use to penetrate are painful (she has many problems with pain........a compression fracture in her back, a fractured femur and hip a year and a half ago.) I had surgery two years ago for a belly button hernia and am wondering if my surgery has anything to do with this problem. I am also slightly overweight.
Avatar m tn I had prior scans 2006 showing inguinal hernia. I also had sigmoidectomy surgery in 2007. Next thing up is the gallbladder surgery in Nov 2011. Should the surgeon have used Laprascopic procedure versus Open surgery? Gallbladder removal went ok, I think, but I woke up the next day and after walking a little discovered huge swelling to left groin area. Bottom line I went into get gallbladder removed now I need OPEN Hernia surgery to repair inguinal hernia.
2121656 tn?1395674749 I did forget to answer your question if my lump has been examined by my PCP. I must say it certainly was, however I've to question his response in telling me that something popped out of the sixth rib. Then, once I get home & call for a copy of that office visit. I notice, he states that I thought it was a pulled muscle. Now, if that's what I thought, i sure would've of went & paid a co-pay. So, that told me, he's not even sure of what it is.
1166907 tn?1263101648 I have had hernia surgery back in 2006 And been in chronic pain I found a link on YouTube that might have some hope for me and hopefully you guys to i have not had the surgery http://youtu.be/Y7jEhwJL_VY http://youtu.
Avatar n tn s recommending surgery, please schedule it right away, or you might face the loss of your dog. It cost us $400 for that Sunday morning vet visit, but I'd have paid even more if she had just shown syptoms earlier than she did. The earlier something like this is detected and treated, either through diet or surgery, the more likely of a positive outcome. And if surgery is recommended, and it's a little pricey for you, talk to your vet about payment arrangements.
1169557 tn?1263270893 Although she got what she wanted and lost over 200 pounds, she is now left looking pregnant with her hernia and is still in and out of hospitals to this day. There are days she cannot keep food down and gets sick. She is on very strong pain medication as perscribed by her doctor. Just before christmas, she went in the hospital again. She had lost 8 bags worth of blood through her bowels, and doctors say she was half an hour away from cardiac arrest.
Avatar f tn Yes, I think a hernia can go into the scrotum. Hernia pain can also come and go. https://www.urologyhealth.
Avatar n tn Does this mean surgery failed? is hernia back (now they are referring to this as a paraesophageal hernia) The doctors never told us herina might be back so I am wondering when I see x-ray report and it shos Pre-demonstartion of hernia, does that mean there is a new issue or they are seeing repaired hernia? is it typical that Nissen wrap would slip so soon after surgery?
Avatar m tn i have to undergo laser surgery. one year back i had undergone hernia (rt inguinal) surgery. i want to know that is there any problem in carrying out kidney stone surgery now. in any way is it related?
