Gosh, I hope you're home by now!

Ugh still here waiting to get discharged. The blood, urine, and ultra sound was normal. Big waste of time, he didn't even give me pain meds. He did say I had the most normal ultrasound he has ever seen! He suspects a small inguinal hernia ( that's what Sophia had!!) and told me to follow up with my PCP

That really sucks. Sitting here shaking my head.... Great that everything looks good though. And what are you supposed to do if the pain gets worse, before you can get in to see the PCP?

sophias mommy · 07-16-2012, 06:37 PM

Apparently I'm getting a hydrocodone prescription but the doctor didn't tell me! He told me to take advil!

Patti · 07-16-2012, 06:51 PM

I hope your pain goes away soon.

kjc · 07-16-2012, 07:09 PM

Maybe go to a different ER:

Inguinal hernia - MayoClinic.com

Wahh. I went to GBMC thinking it was the better hospital... Maybe I should have tried St. Josephs which is even closer. Ugh.

I had back surgery at St Joe's... the staff were all very nice and extremely attentive. It was a while ago though. I would go there again if need be.

Just want to update. I'm at my PCP now. She thinks it's an inguinal hernia and she's tryig to fit me in with the hernia specialist today.

Sarah:

My dh had surgery for a hernia repair 6 days ago. It had been bothering him since March and I had been telling him to go the doctor, but he wouldn't listen until the pain got really bad. The surgery was about an hour, done on an outpatient basis, and let me tell you the change in him was dramatic. He felt better immediately, and never asked for anything for pain after he got out of the recovery unit.

Get it fixed ASAP, you'll be feeling much better the sooner you get it done.

TinkkaSweets · 07-18-2012, 07:49 AM

I hope you feel better

sophias mommy · 07-18-2012, 09:01 AM

Saw the hernia specialist, he doesn't think it's an inguinal hernia. He suggested maybe a spigelian hernia, but it's not likely. He said it may be a mass on my abdomen, but he's not sure. I am getting a CT scan at 3:30 and we should have a better plan of action tomorrow.

He did suggest if the CT scan doesn't show anything, that the next step is exploratory surgery

kjc · 07-18-2012, 09:44 AM

Oh geez! Sometimes I don't have much faith in some of the diagnostic methods... most of mine have been wrong or haven't shown the full extent of the problems, lol. Exploratory Sx may be your best bet as they'll have to go in to fix whatever it is anyway! But Best wishes and good luck! I do hope you start feeling better soon!

Maximo · 07-18-2012, 07:04 PM

Sarah, I am sorry you have to go through this. Praying for good news from the CT and that you won't have to through exploratory surgery.

Carmeow · 07-20-2012, 02:07 PM

How are you feeling today, Sarah? Have you gotten news of your ct scan yet? I hope you got something to ease your pain, and will soon get some answers to ease your mind. I'm praying for you! I'll be keeping you and your bf and pups in my prayers.
