My mother has been suffering from this
type of hernia for more than 11 years.
Her doctor prescribed a medication that
did not do a thing for her. Sometimes her
pain is so unbearable that she has to take
a half of a pain pill just to get some
relief. Is there anything my mom can do
to prevent the pain? She has already cut
out all the foods she loves to eat. She's
lost weight because she's so afraid to eat
anymore. Is it operable? What can you
tell me about this type of hernia?
