I read on here that someone has back pain with a hernia. I have noticed that my back has started hurting when I stand up cooking or just standing around. I never thought of the hernia making that happen. My hernia doesn't bother me except for the big bulge in my stomach. This is my first time ever talking to anyone about this other than my family, so I hope this site can really help me and maybe even make me feel better about myself. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am afraid that it is me - my back has been bad now for nearly 5 years because of my hernia, which is 'as big as they get' apparently! I suggest you get some support for it, as that will help with your back. Eventually, it will probably need an operation unfortunately, but a mere cough or sneeze can make it bigger, as can any lifting, etc., so a bit of support would be useful! Take care, Rachel xx

Hi Crossley. Ya know, I think it’s all about feelings. I don’t mean the pain feelings which could control everything. I mean the feelings inside our heads, our hearts and even our souls. I mean the feelings of who we are now compared to who we were; how we accept our situation or maybe we don’t. My wife asked how I felt and I said, “like crap”. She asked what hurt and I answered, “Nothing hurts, well, everything hurts, I don’t know, It all sucks.” That was a long time ago. You question if your feelings are normal. How normal is it to relocate your butt hole to your belly where it’s usually in the way of your belt and, you know. But that’s where we are and for lots of us we are so much better off than we were before, physically. Emotionally, psychologically, well, that might be a different story. I believe talk therapy is wonderful if we could find a real empathic or sympathetic listener. So guess what! I found MAO and began “talking” with a keyboard with some of the wisest, kindest most sympathetic and compassionate folks on the planet. Regardless of where we’ve been, lots of folks here have been there and worse places and found their way back healthier and happier. We really do help each other.
Keep “talking”,
Mike
