OC and hernias

Hi Pam

yes i too have an incisional hernia quite large, they monitor it on my ct scans, had it since surgery back in August 2020, they say its better to leave alone unless it gets twisted- it can be painful- feeling a bit like stitch , I call it “john hurt” cos it looks like that scene from alien! Bloody thing- it feels better when I’m wearing jeans which supports it - think lots of us have these hernias sadly- you do learn to live with it though .  I fund laying down if you can if it starts to hurt helps 
Love

Thanks janet

mine have started to hurt continuously now mainly the stoma one, I struggle to stand more than 10 mins at a time, hurt to cough or sneeze I don’t think I can cope if they say leave them alone.

im not sure if surgery is going to be an option anyway as I’ve had 6 chemo that haven’t worked for recurrence, four tumours that have grown slightly 

need ct in a couple of weeks and see what my options are
