Hi blue-moon_1,

I'm sorry I have no advice other than to talk to your doctor and be insistent that it needs to be addressed.

My husband is the one with liver disease and he did have a hernia operated on, but to the best of my knowledge hasn't had any issues with it - at least he hasn't mentioned it and since we saw his liver doctor last week I think he would have mentioned it either to me before the appt or to the doctor.

Best wishes,

Mary

Hi blue - only just seen this!

Have you told Dr/Consultant about this? How do you know they won’t do anything?

I had an infection or similar causing inside wound not to heal. Initially they did nothing but after 2 Ultra Sound Scans and visits to three consultants they gave me antibiotics. Still not completely stopped hurting but much better. 😁

I find if you persevere it eventually causes a positive response 👍
