In your case being so active it certainly wouldn't hurt, they tend to help hold the hernia more in place with the hopes of making it worse. I work for a surgeon, he does not normally recommend them but if the patient is very active and wants to hold off on the surgery he will.

Try DocOrtho.com, I have only seen them on line. You may want to check your local drug store. Pharmacist should be able to refer you to someone.
Good Luck
