Re: hernia repair [prattzc]
Guess what, hernia was not causing issues! Very common for me to see pts with a hernia/pain and I get very specific with my exam as to location. See fair amount of tendonitis over adductor muscles. It can't put pressure on hernia. No tendons can.

Get it fixed now.. Why? I don't recommend fixing asymptomatic hernias except - getting ready to lose insurance(then will be a problem and no insurance), pilot, missionary. I don't believe in preventive surgery. OH, YOU HAVE A HERNIA AND GOOD CHANCE IT MAY CAUSE A PROBLEM AND YOU SHOULD GET IT FIXED. CROCK OF S%$T.

I have had a hernia for 18 years and no scars(surgery). Noticed after moving a deer stand and had groin pain, self exam and a hernia. Pain disappeared week later. People heal differently. I have had pts develop chronic pain after surgery and thats no fun.

Asked location because I live in Atlanta and would see you next week. Always willing to help!
