I know I don't post on here a lot since joining this group, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I've not been able to get on the internet for a while. But I do really need some advice. I have a large hernia developed next to my incision scar, which is getting more painful and sticks out a lot more. Recently, it's changed shape and become warm and tender to the touch. I can't afford to take time off work to get the surgery to fix it anytime soon. Is there any advice anyone can give on how to handle this?
My doctor has told me to lose weight, but I find it difficult to exercise with this hernia and stoma. Any tips on that front?
Thanks in advance, and any help would be great.
