Anyone ever had a "Sports Hernia" aka: "Sportsman's hernia", "Gilmore's groin", or &quot

Hey I have been trying to diagnose a similar problem but am very confused due to the wide varieties of symptoms mentioned. I have poured through these threads for hours and still have no conclusive feelings about whats wrong with me.

A few months ago i tweaked something in my lower right abs it felt about an inch below by an inch wide of my belly button. This happened during a decline sit up exercise. I stopped doing this exercise and continued all other training and soccer and got on fine for an extended period of time. Eventually after trying to include my ab routing a few more times this problem started showing symptoms during cardio (soccer). Well now i have alot of the symptoms mentioned i feel this dull "pain"(hardly hurts) about two inches above and to the right of my pubic mound and I have been resting for about two weeks and it just feels the same. I have seen a Hernia guy and he said it was a strain. I experienced pain while coughing/sneezing/laughing and now thats gone but i can feel that dull ache when i do the aforementioned.

What confuses me is i have no pain in my legs or hip/groin regions! Please help!

p.s. i have dealt with many nagging injuries and i stopped all activity as soon as i felt something was wrong.. this might be pertinent information as to why things aren't worse for me. WILL THIS HEAL!?

Hi,

I just found this thread today, and much of it sounds like problems I have been struggling with since last September.

I was recovering from having my right knee scoped, and 1 day after a PT session I had horrible pain in my upper left thigh, and then left groin, near the crease between the thigh/groin.

My pain is low level, but constant, and then every 2 or 3 weeks, it is intense for a few days and then recedes again. When it is bad, I can't roll onto my left side (huge pain when all my weight is on just the left flank) and have lots of pain as I lift the leg/knee forward/up. Walking is bad, stairs are worse. Pressing the knees together is very painful throughout the groin.

I have now had months of R.I.C.E., and much PT and ART.

My XRAYS and MRI(with and without contrast) were negative. I have a followup up with the Orthopedic DR in 3 days. He has already said (on the phone) that arthrogram of the hip is next. He doesn't think it is a inguinal hernia, thinks maybe he saw something irregular regarding he labram in my MRI...

After reading this thread and other material, I'm convinced I have a nerve entrapment or psoas tendon entrapment.

Would either of those condition present them self intermittently (peaking approx every three weeks) ??

Would a Sports hernia be intermittent?

Any thoughts?

2 1/2 years with a Sports Hernia. Anybody on Long Island doing the surgery???

I just got my hands on the latest research paper by Dr. Campanelli from the medical journal "Hernia". He is a surgeon in Italy that also focuses on sports hernias. It gives a good description as to what is happening with tissue tears in the groin area. If you want a copy, let me know where to send it.

Looking for a surgeon on or near Long Island, New York. HELP...3 years of this pain

Can you tell me the extent of your injury? Was it a bi-lateral repair? I was planning to go to Germany but you are making me concerned. I just have a muscle tear on lower right ab. Don't think it is a big deal. I was curious how bad your injury was or what type it was? Is there anyone who has an opinion about the Sholtace clinic in Canada? I heard it is cheaper but are they reliable as to repairs of these injuries? Thank you for any help..

test...the last post was 2/22. Is this thing still locked up over a month later?

Hey monchi,

Just wondering if you knew when Muschaweck would be in the states again, and if so when. And did you find that out from emailing her yourself?

Thanks much,

Hi

I have been injured for 16 months with both groins being sore after running and football.

I saw Dr Maclennan and he said to have both groins operated on. I had my operation 3 weeks ago and just been out running and my groins are still abit sore and feel kind of the same pain I had before the operation. Was this the same for you? how long did it take you to recover? My hernia didnt hurt either when i coughed!

After two years of pain and urinary symptoms, I was finally diagnosned with Sports hernia on my left groin about two months ago.

I was finally operate yesterday by dr. Rea Brown in Montreal. He found a 4 inch central tear and another 1 inch tear (lower medial) which is suppose to be the more painful of all. Part of the ilioinguinal nerve was also entrapped in these tears of the external oblique aponeurosis.

i will try to give you a follow-up of my rehab. For the info, I'm a 21 years old soccer player.

hello

i just thought i would post on my SH

i had chronic groin pain for 6 months, went to Hoadley in Atlanta (where I live), he told me to take it easy for a while, would not give me an MRI etc..

I did not like that answer so I started doing my research, found out about Myers in Philly, last week he performed a bi-lateral rectus abdominus repair (athletic pubalgia)

i did not mess around with other opinions or mssh specialists, went right to the guru of SH's and fixed me up

its been 1 week and i dont feel any of the previous pain, (i couldnt even roll over at night) I am walking 4-6 miles per day and doing my other rehab work

cant say enough good things about myers, he is man,

Anyone else ever went to Dr. Kevin Petersen in Las Vegas?

Besides the ash clouds, I prefer an American solution. My Primary Care doctor won't send me to Philly to see Dr. Meyers, saying it will break the insurance, damn. The local doctor in the insurance don't have the faintest idea what is SH and only want to practice his laparoscopic skill. So I will have to go no insurance.
