Rectus diastasis

[franklin1970]

I went to see my surgeon yesterday for a consult as I was told for over four years by my GP that I had a hernia that opened up my abdomen and thought I was going to get it fixed through surgery when I seen the surgeon yesterday. To my amazement, the surgeon after examining me told me that in fact I had “rectus diastasis “ not a hernia but this is not good as what it does is it is opened up my abdomen from the top part of the the sternum of the rib cage and it goes all the way down to my pelvic area. So I can’t do push-ups or anything like that he said another thing that cannot be fixed but I really wanna learn more about this so if anybody out there knows about rectus diastasis then please feel free to give me some advice in that because I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with it all I know is my abdomen is opened up quite big and there’s a huge 6 cm pop out when I lay down it’s a good 7 cm high of the abdomen there and anyway I am but it’s not a hernia it’s a rare thing so I need to learn as much as I can about it I guess. This is common in pregnant women, but I had child birth 28 years ago and I got this, but men can get it. Shocked my abdomen opened from the top sternum down to the pelvic area. We have abs on left and right and my abdomen opened all the way with thin layer of tissue protecting my internal organs and bowel is twisted and baring down is bad for this. I have to eat 1/2-1 cup food 5 times a day.

Hi franklin 😊🌿🌸🦋

If your bowl is twisted it needs to be corrected. If not that can cause tissue death and can be deadly if not addressed ASAP.

I’m going to do some research and I’ll add to this later.

Hugs and prayers.
