Is it
sport's hernia?
This case brings up a
good point for any athlete whose diagnosis continues to change. Nobody
knows what is wrong with you! Go to a
Prolotherapist or Orthopedic
Medicine specialist.
Orthopedic Medicine is
a discipline in which the physicians are specialists in all of the
non-surgical techniques for treating
chronic pain.
This includes, but is not limited to, manipulation, massage, and
physiotherapy techniques, as well as the various injection techniques
for pain, including
Prolotherapy.
The patient's son had
significant tenderness over the pubic symphysis, which was expected. His
iliopsoas muscle was also very tender and he had some degenerative
changes in the lower lumbar spine on MRI. The joints beneath the
iliopsoas muscle are the hip joint and the
lumbosacral junction where
the degeneration was located. Palpation of the hip joint did not produce
pain, but a positive jump sign was elicited at the
iliolumbar ligaments,
lumbosacral ligaments, and
sacroiliac
ligaments.
Many athletes are
subjected to hernia surgeries for groin pain, which has nothing to do
with a
hernia. We
have bailed out many a surgeon who referred patients to us (or the
patients came on their own) after the hernia surgery failed to "cure"
them of their groin pain.
