I have a very large hernia...and every week or every two weeks, I have an episode. It is so painful for about 4 hours,I always throw up, cant bend,and am in severe pain.Then it goes away as fast as it came.
The doctor wont do surgery to repair it yet, because I am on high doese of prednisone for a lung disease. She said it would probally happen again, and those on prednisone dont heal well. She said larger hernias are not as serious as small ones. Its an incesional hernia from a c-section. So its about the same size as the c-section scar. Its gross!

I'm really sorry to hear that...no one every considers this when they consider C-section...anyway, try wearing either a pregancy belt or a girdle to hold it in. It's when bowel gets through the herianted are that it hurts...if you can prevent this it sound prevent the pain. Best wishes
