wrong hernia repaired
by: Susan on Tue, Dec 16 2008

I got double femoral hernia’s having my son 20 years ago. The doc then thought they were ingrunal hernia’s but found after he was in there they were femoral.I got them repaired with stitches because this was before mesh.

One came undone I think pretty well right away so recently due to other happening health wise I thought maybe I should go get the one repaired. Went to a surgeon he thought he felt an ingrunal hernia next to the scar from the previous surgery, so we i thought ok but like the other doc he would find it being the femoral.

I woke up in recovery with the pain being in completely a different spot at the lower abdomon next to the hysterectomy scar area. To say the least I am very unhappy because I really needed this surgery so sitting which is what hurts most not standing could be fixed before starting a job sitting down. I guess I get to suffer anyways.

Any suggestions of what to do next? Doc also took out a nerve that was encased in adhesion thinking that would help the pain. HA.
