Hi, I am pretty sure I have an inguinal hernia (female), but the doctors are having trouble finding the lump although inguinal canal is very tender and doctor thinks something going on but no absolute lump has been felt. Does anyone know who the best surgeon to identify my problem could be, and in the Leicester area. Who is good with difficult cases. My symptoms all point to inguinal hernia. I have private healthcare but much prefer a recommendation for a good surgeon who is highly experienced, please send private message if you cannot post a name. Thank you,

      Hi there yes they have tried to find it with lots of different scans but nothing is showing up because they are all done when I am lying down. I have all the symptoms including bowel obstruction on occasions and severe pain in the inguinal area

    I had a good surgeon I thought but still have issues after 4 plus years and had to quit my job because of now being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Some people have problems even after the surgery is done. Please make sure you ask all questions and even get a second opinion if possible. Any questions feef free to ask.
