Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 cheryl: sounds like a very snug supportive girdle/binder/health belt would do you a world of good until you have the hernia surgically corrected. it would probably help with the pain you have while being upright. maybe try putting it on while you are still lying down and everything is in it's proper place. know what i mean? hugs, mary y st.louis > i have a hernia which seems to create a lot of pain if i overexert myself or > eat too much. if i lay down the intense pain is relieved. my dr sd as long as > the pain goes away when i lay down it is ok. if it doesn't go to the er. > that's why i am taking an easy summer. no yard work, flowers, etc...i must > make it till sept when i have my ds. > cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 mary: i was told that a belt or girdle would do no good by a surgeon..does anyone have any more information on it..did you have a hernia and it worked for you? cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 i'd get a second opinion on that. support belts have been used for a long time. i do have a hernia at my belly button, for about 17 years i guess. it only bothers me once in a while. but if it gets worse,i'll just have it surgically fixed. and if it hurt before i could get surgery, i would definitely wear a support belt. mary y. st.louis > mary: > i was told that a belt or girdle would do no good by a surgeon..does anyone > have any more information on it..did you have a hernia and it worked for you? > cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
