"Living with a Hernia" is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. The song is a #parody of "#LivingInAmerica" by #JamesBrown, from the film #RockyIV. The song mostly describes the terrible "aggravation" and "back pain" that a #hernia causes. The narrator himself claims to be suffering from a hernia, and that he's "Got to have an operation".

I had #hernia repair with #mesh in 1994 that caused severe immune rejection, pain and fainting for decades. Because the mesh did not degrade as planned, but became brittle, it caused nerve damage over time and had to be removed. It was a long journey but the surgery (5 days ago) went well. I am recovering. It's like a new beginning for me. I am super pumped about it. 🥳

Has anybody had cervical vertigo due to herniated cervical discs or whiplash? Since my car accident a few months ago (with diagnosed herniated cervical discs and whiplash), when my neck really hurts, I get dizzy. Yesterday for first time, this happened at extreme level and I had to lie down for an extended period while not in a good place to do so.
Any solutions that have worked aside from surgery or pausing normal life?

" #NHS trusts with record waiting lists are promoting “quick and easy” #PrivateHealthcare services at their own #hospitals, offering #patients the chance to jump year-long queues, the Observer can reveal.

Hospitals are offering #HipReplacement from £10,000, #cataract surgery for £2,200 and #hernia repairs for £2,500. #MRI scans are offered for between £300 and £400."

SpringerLinkNeuropsychological outcome in survivors of congenital diaphragmatic hernia at 5 years of age, what does it tell? - European Journal of PediatricsPrevious studies have frequently reported neurocognitive deficits in children born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) at school age, which may contribute to academic difficulties. Yet, age at onset of these deficits is currently unknown. We evaluated neurocognitive skills with possible determinants in preschool children born with CDH. Eligible 5-year-old children born with CDH (2010–2015) who participated in our prospective structural follow-up program were included. We used the WPPSI-III to assess intelligence, subtests of the Kaufman-ABC for memory, and NEPSY-II to assess inhibition and attention. We included 63 children. Their test scores generally were within or significantly above normal range: total IQ = 103.4 (15.7) (p = 0.13); Verbal memory = 10.2 (2.8) (p = 0.61); Visuospatial memory = 11.4 (2.6) (p < 0.01); Inhibition = 10.5 (2.2), (p = 0.10). In univariable analyses, length of ICU-stay was negatively associated with IQ, and maximum vasoactive inotropic score and open repair were negatively associated with inhibition skills. In multivariable regression analysis, the latter association remained (B = 5.52, p = 0.04 (CI 0.32–10.72)). Conclusions: In these tested 5-year-old children born with CDH, neuropsychological outcome was normal on average. While problems in 8-year-olds are common, we did not detect onset of these problems at age 5. Yet, we cannot rule out that this cohort had a relatively mild level of disease severity; therefore, conclusions should be interpreted with caution. However, given the growing-into-deficit hypothesis, meaning that deviant brain development in early life is revealed once higher cognitive brain functions are demanded, follow-up should be conducted up to school age, and preferably beyond. What is Known: • Children born with CDH are at risk for academic difficulties at school age. • Whether these difficulties can be detected already before school age is unknown. What is New: • At age 5 years, intelligence, inhibition, attention, and memory skills were all within normal range, or even above, in children with CDH. This is supportive of the growing-into-deficit hypothesis in this patient population. • Those who underwent open surgical correction had poorer inhibition skills than those who were corrected with minimal access surgery.
