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

For me i can make myself feel a bit better if i can maintain a low level of activity. In that i mean very light excersise such as real gentle jogging or easy swimming. If i push it then the inguinal discomfort/pain cranks up but its the adductor insertion pain that really gets me, even though i dont have pain with adduction.

I think the reason why this happens is that with total rest i stiffen up and loose flexibility, touching toes is very very hard, and with a bit of light excersise i am more free and this i think puts a little less pain on the areas that hurt.

For me i am struggling a bit at the moment as i was doing quite well with some deep hammy/adductor insertion work but since i stopped that a couple of months ago, new job so getting to therapist is not so easy, the pain is back as bad as ever. Its also hurting more and more on the right side now also, i was when this all started left side only, so i really really hope that i dont have the same thing on both sides now.

I am looking at my options as it seems like Munich is a distinct possibility now as the Lloyd release seems a bit barbaric and i guess a flight to Munich is do-able for an assessment at least.

be well -

be well -

the posterior fascia of the transv muscle is what is torn in the injury,

the rectus and/or obliques can be involved as well

um is the best option

the food at the residenz isn't all that bad- hey you don't get grilled rainbow trout post op here in the usa hospitals.

the amount od genuine care received there is far better than anywhere in north america, at least.

the nurses were great. just don't be a dick- they don't need to deal with rude people just like the rest of us don't.

i know of many people who went and all was resolved, even after years of pain.

I dont think a small improvement in pain with gentle excersise is that unusual - For me sometimes a light jog or a gentle swim can help other times it does not. I think its due to loosening up tissues as i definately feel worse when things stiffen up.

I have managed to find a surgeon here in the UK. David Lloyd. He has his own \"Release\" procedure for this problem. Will post outcome.

Let's see.

Hackney is a hack.

After Nesovic made my groin too tight I saw Hackney.

He knows NOTHING.

I am doing fairly well after several surgeries, but that's due to Mushaweck. She fixed both Starlings (U of Wisc) and Nesovics (Belgrade) mistakes. Meyers, I have a less than a good opinion of him and his assistants.

I spent a week in Stransberg too.

It was so boring until I found a computer at the clinic.

My problem is more with my tigt back which causes my hips to be too tight. But I'm no longer in hhorrible pain.

I tried to run and I had no problem running 6 minute mils until my claves locked up. That was so frustrating.

My groin hurt that first day, but seemed to be stronger the next. I think the stress from the running was good for me, but one week my left calf froze them the right ans so on.

Hi folks,

Just stumbled across the forum while searching for information on the Sports Hernia. I note a few of you guys are from the UK and are seeking some answers. I am 30 years old from Northern Ireland and play gaelic football. On 6th December 2008 I had surgery to repair an inguinal (sportsmans) hernia using the mesh technique. I will give you a breakdown of my symptoms, timescales and the surgery and hope the information is of some help.

In around June 2007 I developed groin pain on my right side. This did not prevent me playing but got progressively worse. After a decent warm up I was able to play but would be sore for days afterwards. I would have pain when coughing, sneezing, getting out of bed, out of the car. The pain was centred in the abdominal area - just like you have read many times. I continued to play and when the season finished in mid October 2007 was advised by the club physio to rest, but to work on my core.

I did this and the pain disappeared after two months. Coughing etc.. was not a problem any more.

Fast forward to 5th August 2008 - I felt a sharp pain in my left groin area when stretching for a ball during a game. I thought nothing of it as groin pain had never stopped me in the past. I trained again on 7th Aug but on the 8th noticed the old symptoms returning, stiffness, pain on getting out of bed. On 12th August I played another game. Took me a long time warming up - my old trouble of the previous year wa back but this time it was different. Initially the warm up worked but with 15mins to play the pain kicked in. I finished the game but suffered for two days after. Another game 15th Aug. Same process - long warm up, get through three quarters of the game then pain. Again I finished the game. Our next game was on 22nd Aug. I was unable to train in the week prior to the game. The pain really kicked in as I tried to sprint. Anyway, I got through the game with a lot of freeze spray and freeze gel but it ended my season. After a weeks rest I attempted to jog which was fine but any faster was impossible.

Remembering the previous year I decided on rest with core strengthening. By end of Oct there was no change and I knew I was in trouble.

30th Oct - went to physio. Did a few tests and was pretty sure I had Sportsmans Hernia. However he wanted to eliminate Osteitis Pubis so sent me for an X-Ray.

4th Nov - X-Ray revealed Osteitis Pubis but consultant requested a physical examination.

18th Nov - examination. After a simple test where he placed a few fingers on my abdominal area he asked me to cough and noticed the problem straight away. They can feel the tissues poking through the tear in the abdominal wall. This is the problem.

6th Dec - surgery in Belfast. Prof Spence. Pretty cheap. Just under £2000. An overnight stay - all depends if you are taken early enough. You may get home on same day. Three inch incision to the left of testicles. Tear gets covered in a mesh and is then stitched into placed.

A few hours after surgery I was able to walk to toilet. Absolutely no pain for five days - no need for painkillers. Walking was practically normal. Stretching etc.. restricted due to the incision which heals amazingly quickly.

Day Six (12th Dec) - some discomfort in around the testicular. Had me worried a bit as there was no work carried out down there. Yesterday and today pain has now all but gone.

Physio has informed me to do only light swimming or gentle use of an exercise bike for 3/4 weeks at which point he will give me some strentghening exercises. So far so good.

Watch out for laughing to hard. It takes you by surprise. You'll learn not to do it for a while. After the first week coughing gets much easier. Haven't sneezed yet. I'm afraid to!

I'll keep you posted on my progress. Oh yes one other thing. Squeezing my legs together at the knees used to be a probably with this injury. I have tried this already and the pain has gone. Fingers crossed. I hope this is of help.

I'll keep you posted on my progress. Oh yes one other thing. Squeezing my legs together at the knees used to be a probably with this injury. I have tried this already and the pain has gone. Fingers crossed. I hope this is of help.

The progression:

1) A few times during runs back in early spring '08 I got a sharp pain in the right hip flexor area. If asked to point to where the pain was, I would indicate the area just below the anterior superior iliac spine (rectus femoris? sartorius?). I wrote it off as a strain and the pain lingered but eventually went away. To this day I'm not sure if this is related to my current symptoms.

2) In early July, to stay in shape while a foot injury healed I did quite a bit of cross training - elliptical, stairs, pool running. I generally do a lot of cycling anyway but this increased as well as I began replacing long runs with long rides. I recall a few times in the pool that there was some tightness in the right hip flexor area, but no problems biking.

3) Mid-August during an evaluation run on the TM, strange discomfort in the groin area. I'd say 2 inches above the pubic symphysis, 2 inches to the right. Wrote it off as a strain or weak abdominals.

4) Didn't really get back into consistent running until mid-September. These were mostly light jogs, afterward I'd be sore on both sides, deep in the groin just above the pubic bone.

5) On a long cycling trip at the end of September I developed a burning sensation on the right side, deep in the crease between the upper thigh and abdomen. I had bilateral inguinal hernias when I was a child (which I had repaired at age 3), and the fact that the discomfort was right around the still-visible scars had me worried that I'd reopened the original surgery. I don't even know if that's possible, but that's what it felt like. Within a few weeks the pain got worse (still jogging occasionally, doing some light cross training) - I'd describe it as a feeling of inflammation, burning. Strangely, the sharper pains I'd experienced while running back in August had largely dissipated, but I'd still be sore deep in the groin (corners of pubic bone) after running. All this led me to see a physician, who ordered an ultrasound. Found nothing except what she described as swollen lymph nodes in the area. She recommended rest, ibuprofen (surprise surprise). I mentioned sports hernia, but she had never heard of it.

6) After debating over trying some PT I sought a sports med doc who I'd seen previously for unrelated reasons. Again, checked for inguinal hernias, negative, suggested that my problem was related to my low back. Gave me a prescription for PT.

7) After three weeks or so of PT, some minor progress on the right side (except now I'm getting occasional sharp pains on bending over and using the bathroom) but the left side is worse. Sharp pain around the inguinal ligament on the left side when I get up from laying down, sometimes hurts when I cough, sneeze, or forcefully flex my left hip. Additionally, the hip flexor area (just below ASIS) is extremely tender and tight, to the point that I have to loosen my belt to alleviate discomfort. Lunge stretches are also pretty uncomfortable. Something else I've noticed (I've done a lot of poking and prodding around) is a "separation" or discontinuity in the fascia just below the right ASIS. A small bulge appears when I thrust my pelvis forward (squeeze my glutes) but I don't think it's a femoral hernia in the traditional sense.

To respond to Nick1986num7, my pain is alleviated by warming up but never seems to fully go away. PT seems to help a little, but whatever damage I've done doesn't really seem to be healing. Biking is fine except that my right leg lacks power. There is also an overwhelming feeling of instability when I jog or do balance/plyometric exercises. I'm generally in pretty moderate discomfort even after merely standing for 20 min. The morning after doing abdominal exercises I'm pretty uncomfortable - burning, feelings of inflammation that last for a few days afterward.

Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to outline my symptoms clearly (for myself as well as for others) because I feel like any time I try to describe this to a doctor I get shut down after 10 seconds and don't really get to communicate my entire history. Maybe I'll print this out and bring it with me to my future appointments!

The sports med doc has now referred me to a general surgeon, who I'm guessing will do another check for inguinal hernias and write this off as tendinitis or something. Has anyone had any success with insurance coverage for sports hernia surgery? Do any of my symptoms sound familiar to anyone else? Thanks and wishing everyone successful healing.

I had all of the symptoms of a Sports Hernia in July. I couldn't get up from bed or cough without major pain. I started running half marathons this year and I think I did a little too much too fast as far as training goes. I am also 45 years old and just a hobby sports person.

I went to a doctor and he basically said I had a sports hernia and that it could go away with rest, etc., but an operation would probably be needed.

I decided to go with the rest idea before getting cut. I took a couple of weeks off totally. At week three I road my mountain bike for one day out of that week. My bike did not bother the injury at all. I eventually started riding my bike around 3 times a week and I road fairly hard with hills. No pain from the biking. I road my bike only for the next month. Slowly I started putting a little running in with the biking. I started with once a week and then a little more. I also only run on dirt. I made sure that I would ride my bike in between runs. I think this is very important for the muscles to heal correctly. The running did bother the injury, but seemed to fade away little by little. It is now December and I can run 3 to 4 times a week with no problem. I still feel the pain a little if I over do it, but it is still getting better by the week. I could do more, but trying to play smart this time.

I think by resting and biking, you can get over this problem, but it isn't a quick fix. If you are not a pro and have time to rest, I would definitely try what has worked for me. Also you need to make sure it isn't an inguinal hernia, which would need surgery. Hope this helps.

Has anyone from the UK tried this laproscopic surgery?

www.lloydrelease.com

has anyone had this procedure done

Based in the UK

Nick,

I am curious if you have received an official diagnosis on your injury.

Your post and symptoms (1,2 and 3 above)are exactly what I am experiencing. I am three weeks out (date of injury)and I am going to pursue an accurate diagnosis of my condition.

My questions to the forum is the following.

If Dr. Muschaweck in Germany is having such success with the micro-surgery technique why isn't somebody in the U.S replicating the technique?

Best of luck to all with this condition.

Rob

Has anyone heard of this guys procedure
