Hiatal hernia help - sm
A friend has a symptomatic hiatal hernia. She was told to use Prilosec, but that caused diarrhea. She recently had her gallbladder removed as well as a right mastectomy. She is to begin tamoxifen but is concerned because of possible of side effects especially with a hiatal hernia.
Has anyone successfully treated a h/h without RX medications? Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Thank you
Hiatal hernia repair, anyone?
Has anyone here had surgery for a hiatal hernia? I am considering it, as I have been on Prevacid for way too long, and it doesn't even work now most of the time. The doctor said about a year or 2 ago that if it gets bigger, I would have to have surgery. He also said lose some weight. I am not that big, maybe 20 lbs. over. Anyways, I know that if you have the surgery, it can return again, so I just wanted to get opinions from anyone who may know or have already had this?
Thanks!
Hernia
I am doing an Operative Report and think the Dr is saying "riding low hernia" for the diagnosis. Could this be right?
Hernia

?hernia or more serious
When standing at end of day have a huge bulge in the right lower groin area (more toward suprapubic area than in the groin itself) This occurs mostly in the evening and can be felt when standing but not when lying flat. Made a PCP appt. early one morning and bulge was not felt, so told to "see a surgeon" and just worried if it could be something other than a hernia, i.e., vascular, etc. Have pain as well when I have walked or bent such as gardening during the day. Hazard of this profession - frightened to death of surgery (allergic to some types of anesthesia). Anyone else had this problem? TIA - just a little worried, 
Right inguinal hernia
Should be above
You say a "knot"? Could it be a hernia?

Abuse causing this?
I had a son (I hear boys are worse than girls) who wet the bed until probably early teens. My aunt was a nurse, said NOT to belittle, get after, etc., etc. He definitely was NOT abused. Think children just do sometimes. I was told he would grow out of it and he did.
umbilical hernia
My hernia popped up on a Friday evening. Saturday doctor on call said it was constipation. Monday went to clinic and was diagnosed with hernia. Saw surgeon on Tuesday, had surgery on Thursday, went home the same day. The hernia was incarcerated. Back to work in house on Monday. Pain was not too bad. The getting up and down out of bed was more difficult as was the restrictions on activities for six weeks. I am past the baby stage so I cannot help with that issue. Hernia pain can be very bad from all the ERs that we typed. I am severely overweight but did not have any recovery problems other that the restrictions on activities.
...anomaly somewhere is causing your distress? nm

Any ladies had an umbilical hernia.....? sm
So I had a baby a year ago, gained about 30 pounds. Ever since, my belly button has just looked funny, like there is no hole and there is a big lump covering it. I thought I was just fat and didn't really think anything of it.... until it started to hurt. I went to see a new doc (my dr recently switched to ER, I LOVED him :(). Anyways, did not like this new lady at all, but she did tell me I in fact had an umbilical hernia and referred me to a surgeon. However, that is all she said. I see the surgeon on Tuesday. I am nervous, so if anyone has had one or knows anything, please share! I want to know if I will HAVE to have surgery, if I can workout (see 30 pound weight gain above haha) and if somehow this could affect a next pregnancy (like if it will come back/get worse with pregnancy). This dr didn't tell me anything, diagnosed me walked out before I could ask anything and then the nurse came in.
Risperdal causing auditory hallucinations?
Has anyone experienced Risperdal causing auditory hallucinations? We go in to his doctor on Tuesday, but I swear my son is getting more mentally ill by the day. He started Risperdal about 2 weeks ago and I've noticed that he's hearing things lately. He's also on Concerta and fluoxetine.
The school just called and said that he thought another kid was talking about me and he started a fight with him. He felt bad when he found out the kid wasn't but I'm wondering if he was hearing something that wasn't there.
Would it still work if thyroid issue is causing it?
It seems like that might make it a different story, but I hope I am wrong.
I hope it (or something) helps you out. :)
the increased mucus could be causing him to throw up. but with the fever... ???
I would give it 2 days. if the fever persists he needs to be seen. could be a number of different things. there are many different types of flu's.. so its hard to say.
ditto.... early hearing loss here too causing ringing.
I'm not even THAT old!!
Smokers inflict cancer causing agents to people every day, but there are states that
public places anymore and I say, hurray, it's about time! The state of Arizona passed a law overwhelmingly to ban smoking in public places and now it's in effect. If you're caught smoking in a public place you'll either be told to put it out, leave, or be arrested.
Speaking of walking through smoke when going in or leaving a store, I know exactly what that poster means, the only thing is I had to bring my child into that store with me. Prior to the new law, I told the manager how awful that was for me and my child and they had the trashcan/ashtray units moved further away. Still, it amazed me that people would still stand right there at the door and puff away with no regard for anyone else. Well, now, they really have it, but good. It's ILLEGAL to smoke anywhere near a public location, ie grocery stores, malls, library, hospital, any other stores and they can't smoke outside the doors or even on the property itself.
Brother found out he had nerve transposition in his elbows causing wrist pain. Had elbows done &
