In 2013 i sufferd from a car accident... i have previously had a giant incisonal hernia repair in feb 2014.. as time passed i have now occured 2 lateral hernias which my surgeon has said it is inoperable.. the reasons for being inoperable are due to my last surgery where my obleaks had to be sacrificed to save my front abdominal area and the 2 lateral hernias are buried under my hips .. he has told me there is nothing he can do.. and i am in constant agony and discomfort from all of the adehsions that are there... i just dont know what i can do... i would respect any advice please

      So sorry to hear your hernias are inoperable. I have 2 lateral hernias, one at top of scar the other at the bottom.

      The way I cope with the bottom one which is very uncomfortable is to lie fiat when I can. The other is a compression belt when I have to do things. This supports stomach they need to be tight which is is very restrictive.

      Not sure if either is appropriate for you as not sure quite how yours are situated. Perhaps prescribed pain killers? Take care and let me know how you are doing

      Hello mate . Its a nightmare.. thats what mine are a double lateral hernia.. it all started from a car accident where part of my small bowel was removed.. then from that the wound got infected so a giant hernia formed.. i had that fixed but the surgeon had to sacrifice the obleaks to save the front abdominal area ... now the obleaks have gone he said theres nothing he can do as its too dangerous... im in agony with the adeshions and i constantly wear a hernia corset.. i cannot walk move properly or even lift a shopping bag without it on because of the pain... i just dont know what to do.. im only 24 years old
