My problem 15 years ago was the NHS, which is not fond of what they deemed 'sports medicine'. Maybe that's changed. I found a surgeon in Germany that did a dual inguinal repair and it's hanging in there great. I had to wait about a month to do much, so definitely take it easy!
Glad you could get it fixed. My problem problem wasn't getting it repaired but that no one thought of such a hernia in years. Not until a bulge appeared. At first glance of the bulge from a distance(!) the surgeon already said "It's not even a question if we should operate" . But I certainly will take it slow now (not easy, i'm not one who can sit still) but from first hand experience I know it's worth to avoid letting it get to the stage it was on the left.
Way to go! Feels good to advocate for your health, they're called "doctors", not "listeners".
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
