Inguinal Hernia - Topic Overview

When I was 3 years old, I had some operations related to an inguinal hernia. I don't remember a lot of what was going on, except for some pain associated with pulling out catgut stitches. I had an allergic reaction to them, and it was the most painful experience I have ever had.

I bring this up because, within the past few days, I've started to feel pain in the same area. Ugh!

The only remedy for this is surgery.
