Guest guest Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Kathy, I was told by a colleague that I had a hernia just from the looks of it. But didn't get to a doc till this summer and sure enough that's the big bulge. Like you, I have had the ripping feeling too. And lately have experienced some pulling pain in the area after I have been on my feet. I am having surgery on Thursday to have it fixed and also having a hysterectomy for some other problems. I would definitely get your surgeon to look at it Sometimes hernia repair can wait but not always. from NJ Ripping? > To anybody with a hernia > > I was told months ago that I had a hernia.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 I had a hernia. Got it fixed last summer. Until I could get my insurance co to approve a TT at the same time, I used a mid-belly binder to keep everything inside, decrease the chances for anymore ripping & pain, and support my muscles. Seemed to help me alot. Hope this helps!
