I had been fighting what I thought was left inguinal pain/strain (diagnosed by two doctors) early last May 2013. Only thing each suggested was a couple of exercises and a cold pack after my activities (tennis, softball, pickleball). Ibuprofen helped tremendously when taken before my activity.
Eight months later --- as things worsened, I was finally diagnosed with a hernia (not inguinal strain) and I am having laprascopic surgery this Tuesday. I researched the doctors carefully and have chosen Dr. Samual Bundz, Leesburg. On the
HomeGrades.com website he received a rating of 5 out of 5 from 9 patients. My surgery takes between 15 and 30 minutes and is done in the outpatient wing of Leesburg Hospital. No heavy lifting or resumption of my athletic activities for 4 to 6 weeks.
