Abdominal surgeryFrom: Jordyn (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 6 Mar 2002 10:55:32 -0600 (CST)
I am a paramedic with what I think is another bad abdominal tear. Ok, I originally got hurt in 1996, tore two places in my lower abdomen (kind of over my bladder) where the rectus abdominus meet the obliques...I had to have surgery to sew the muscles back together, the left side was MUCH worse and they had to put a fibre glass patch inside as well...I had to go back into emergency twice to be re-opened due to complications within the first two weeks of recovery...popped out two stitches three weeks into recovery...everything was going well until last year when I was at a jiu-jitsu tournament and tore it again..there is some swelling of the area but not too much pain yet, just sometimes, like after a long day of work...the symptoms mimic that of a hernia so that may be the problem but with the history I think that it is probably another tear. The only meds I was on were anti-inflamatories and strong pain killers for the first little while (morphine, codine, and demerol), but take nothing now.I guess what I want to know is if there is a non invasive surgery that can be preformed that will get me back to normal faster than six to ten weeks and if steroids would be a good idea (medically presribed) for avoiding any further damage in the future (just to take while healing)
