Hi everyone this is the first time ive tried anything like this so here it goes... I have just been told i have a hiatal hernia about 3cm.. the pain started with a night of violent vomiting back in Nov 2012, since then i have been unable to walk, run or stand for very long without being in pain. I have a burning, sometimes itchy cramp like pain just under the middle of my rib cage,spreading out to the left, some times when i walk it feels like there is a hole and everything is moving around inside, i dont get too much acid coming up but i am on lansoprazole twice a day.. i am on tramadol which does help take most of the pain away but makes me very sleepy even after a few mths of taking it now. My doctor says H. Hernia can not cause the pains ive been having, tramadol wont help H.Hernia pain and they wont ref me for the op2 fix it as MOST people dont need it... i have also been told i have loin pain hematuria syndrome, a very rare condition only 700 people in the world have, with no cure. i feel like i am being pushed to one side so they can save some money i am no way at the stage of accepting that LPHS is my future!! i have see another doctor that says they have seen lphs and what i have is not that. Can any one tell me if they have the same pain, or if tramadol did help them with H.Hernia pain, if they were able to get an op and were you better afterwards?? ive also heard a chiropractor could help put everything back in its place, has any1 tried that? Thanks!!
