I have my 3 week followup with my surgeon tomorrow but i believe i have a hernia. What were your signs and symptoms? Thanks

I could have sworn I had an incisional hernia but it's just an entrapped nerve. It felt like a searing pain beneath my right rib cage. Almost like there was a hot knife stuck in there. It came on a week after surgery and just got worse and worse. Last Friday they gave me an ultrasound guided cortisone shot and it seems to be getting better.

What are your symptoms jessiej1979?

My incision site feels like a constant Charlie horse, sharp pains whenever I move, and the site is completely hard.

Thanks for replying to my post!!

That sounds exactly like mine. Let me know what the doctor says. What time is your appt?

Hi! I just had surgery for gastric bypass last Tuesday....I already had a triple hernia repair 2 years ago and a sure way sign to find out if it's a hernia is to place your hand over that area on your belly and cough real hard...if you feel like something just punched your hand...then yes you do have a hernia!
