A ct did not show anything abnormal but i am still in a great deal of pain and its very hard for me to sit up straight or drive a car. He thinks it might be small hernia or scar tissue pressing on a nerve from the previous surgery . He has now give me the choice of waiting and seeing if it gets better or having a surgery to see if they can find anything . I have no idea what to do . I do know the pain is not getting better its getting worse and i cant keep up my daily life with this pain .
can scar tissue mimic the sensations of a hernia? The fact that the hernia site feels so much like it did before my surgery concerns me. However there IS scar tissue in the same area, so maybe this could be irritating the same nerves? The fact that I haven't noticed a bulge this time around also makes me wonder if this is a hernia or not
Thanks for any help!
I do have issues with internal scar tissues froma mastectomy and i know how damaging it can be fro surounding tissue. Can my problem with my periformus and SI be from internal scar tissue from my hernia surgery!!!! Please,if anyone has any information on this i would love to hear from you. I have been trhu everything tryng to releive this pain and no one wants to listen to this suggestion!!!!!
I am sorry to hear you have a hernia but at least you finally have answers to the pain you've been experiencing. I have not had a hernia (or don't think that is the cause of my occasional twinges of pain/discomfort) so cannot answer any questions about surgery. Hope all goes well!
My Gynecologist thinks I have a hernia. I have a CT scheduled for Friday and a follow up on Tuesday to discuss results and the plan. It's looking like, either way, I'm having another surgery. If it's not a hernia and nothing else alarming shows up, they will assume it's scar tissue and likely to a laparscopy to look for and break up scar tissue/adhesions.
Anyone out there have a hernia after surgery?
I had a surgeon explain it to me like this ,,they go in try to clean up as much scar tissue as posible and their goal is that you or any patient would be 75% less scar tissue.
A general surgeon could do this , as could your gyno or even a cosmetic surgeon which may be a good one to atlest interview..
I had hernia surgery 7 1/2 wks ago cannot believe the pain i have had. It was a spagelian hernia and I am a female. After surgery my incision & other private parts swelled up the size of a cantelope and turned black & blue , so pain full couldn't walk. bruising and swollen from upper thighs to belly button and around both sides. Said it's a hematoma. Used mesh but that's all I really know.
t any internal hernia be visible in CT scan? I specifically asked my G.I regarding hernia or any tear in abdominal wall. I was concerned due to my workout habits and therefore I was quite specific on that point. I guess I will consult with him again and perhaps discuss your suggestion.
Once again, my appreciated your reply.
L1 and L2 are nerve trunks (not branches). These trunks have many branches and some are sympathetic. What your doctors have said is that the branches involved are not related to one's ability to get an erection or ejaculate. You have to take that as anatomic fact and go on from there. Sometimes, post inguinal hernia repair there are new sensations (such as a tight feeling upon ejaculation) probably a result of scar tissue in the inguinal canal.
I am four years out from a c section. About one year after, I noticed a bump on the left side of my scar, maybe the size of a marble. It was a bit painful and I saw a surgeon. He says he couldn't tell, maybe just a tiny hernia and I should come back if it bothered me again.(the pain comes and goes) Skip forward 3 years and it's egg sized, hurts more often, hurts worse.
The doctor said she could feel the scar tissue from my hernia repair surgery.. I don;t know if this is all true that I have ibs and adhensions. I have pain in my lowr abdomin and belly button area everyday. It is like a burning and pulling pain. Whenever I eat a big meal I get gas after. I have severe cramps, bloating and loads of gas almost everyday. Went to my gyno and had a ultra sound done. Everything was ok. I am at my wits end. The doctors don't seem to listen.
I had many ultrasounds originally showing hernia, then failed hernia operation and fatty hernia, then I had repeat surgery to fix it all (more mesh). I had a very large stomach afterward that had to slowly drain...i forget the name...but all went well. I had a procedure that tightened up my whole stomach area too--i mini tummy tuck and also navel re-formation, the surgeon tried to fix me up as best he could with laparoscope the second time.
Hey my name is Paul and I am an active 25 year old male. Almost 2 years ago I had surgery (mesh repair) for hernias on both sides of my lower abdomen (awsome). Since then the pain never really went away on the right side. It seems like was a little better than before surgery, but now feels like the pain is getting worse, and it really hurts... like an 8 at times. I had it checked out 3 times since the surgery and they said there was no "recurrent hernia".
If you are so incapacitated by the scar tissue that you can't eat or eliminate properly, you do need to consider surgery. Most people who have adheliolysis surgery only have it once and go on with no further trouble. The problem is that there is no way to determine if any given patient will develop more adhesions as a result of the surgery. The idea is for the surgeon to use extremely careful surgical technique and disturb as little tissue as possible.
I was told I might have some scar tissue. Does anyone have scar tissue after abdominal surgery. Also does anyone have these symptoms with them, abdominal pain (mine on left side where I had a abdominal hernia repair but get some slight pain on other side too, also have ibs), crampy feeling, bloating, gas, tenderness when touched in that area and a sensation of pulling? Also eating is a pain. I have to eat small portions.
Have you considered having your gallbladder checked?
Hi,
What you are referring to is known as Secondary testicular Ascent and it’s a known complication of inguinal herniotomy (hernia surgery). The small mobile prepubertal testis is either dislocated from its normal scrotal position or due to the tethering by the scar tissue prevents its normal scrotal descent. The incidence of this complication is from 1-3%. Actually, in some cases, the testis may already lying high in the scrotum and may be concealed by the hernia.
I would bring this to the attention of your doctor. Sometimes after surgery, scar tissue can adhere to normal, growing tissue and create a "tight or pulling" sensation where the incision was. This MIGHT be what is happening with you since you were so young at the time and are still growing. It is nothing to become freaked out about, but it's far better to let the doctor know that SOMETHING is going on inside you. Please don't wait for the pain to stop...…...
Well I have "something" on my c section scar. I have been told scar, hernia, lipoma,or endometrioma. I will know when I get it removed in 2 weeks (yay! Pain be gone) I had the c section 4 years ago and didn't have problems until about a year later, that's when I noticed the pain and bump on the scar.its gotten bigger and more painful over the years. I never had endometriosis before, but I know you don't have to have had endometriosis to have an endometrioma.
My family doc also thought it might be scar tissue but my surgeon said he did not use mesh when I had my hernia repair so he is not sure it is scar tissue. The pain is not really sharp but it is painful and so annoying. It hurts when I sit stand or even lie down. Sometimes it feels like a burning sensation and other times like there is a pulling sensation. I have tenderness around these areas and I sometimes feel like what I would call twinges. I am at a loss and so are the doctors.
