Hi all,

I Had a bilateral hernia repair 4 years ago, with massive reduction life quality.

recently I had PRP -platelet rich plasma, and prolotherapy for torn cartilage in both hips. I told my JOINT medicine DR about the hernia issues, and with my permission he injected into the area between the mesh and the muscle using guided ultrasound, which I was able to see.

its been 3 days and I have about 90% reduction in the terrible groin pain I had, its early days I dont know how long it will last, but I can tell you it is worthwhile for something to stop the pain and move.

Maybe its something to investigate for others, as I was considering removal too, and have also been at the point of suicide before this.

I will definitely undergo more treatments across the whole mesh.

    It's very interesting and instructive and worth remembering. Few days ago I was trying to answer somebody who was saying that her hiatal hernia was making her cough especially at nigh,t I could not remember my password, now I do but I can't find that mail but I want to tell her that when I cough at night I rub my feet with VapoRub and wear socks before going to bed, and it works, I don't cough anymore . Try it.
