Hello, Please read this article, appendix caught in a femoral hernia, I don’t know if it’s this but it makes good common sense with my symptoms and duration of time being so long some people have had this up to 15 years before diagnosis since scans are negative, I have had elevated white blood cells counts on my blood test several times. I’ve had that big hand sized black spot on my right lower hip for 4 years now below my hip bone, and it burns real bad in my hip and right groin area on the crease of my leg all the way to the dark spot. I can feel pressure in my right groin and leg crease, especially in one little spot near the middle/top of the crease, exactly straight across from where it hurts on the backside of my hip too. My right hip is always swollen and in pain. You can see it and feel it compared to my left side. I can feel it rumble in my hip and like intestinal noises and pressure pain and burning in the right hip area. Passing gas hurts to my right hip and lower right abdomen and lower right back. I’ve been tested for blood flow in an ultrasound because my right foot feels super numb at times, and my hip just throbs constantly when having a bad week. The pressure of a hernia cutting off the blood supply would make sense since it’s in the same femoral canal. Imagine infectious gas leaking up sometimes in the abdomen if it can escape it would make it hurt under my ribs too.
I’m nauseated a lot too and now it’s gotten so bad in the last month, I’m so bad with sick and painful misery at times that I’m amazed some days that I even wake up looking around like another day is here after a real bad night of moaning pain and sickness.
A CT scan or barium X-ray will not show this condition also because it won’t let the fluid threw the herniated muscle wall and the appendix looks like it’s long enough and clean so the radiologist just says it’s not appendicitis because it looks normal.
I’ve had two hernias from lifting weight also over time, I worked at Budweiser and would lift 6-10 cases of beer or more at a time to rotate displays and that’s when I first got real sick back in 2002 and took time off work and swore it was appendicitis then, and I never took time off before that. I have been saying hernia because of the pressure and abdominal pain in the lower right along to the hip bone and groin. I think it’s both an appendix caught in a femoral hernia, it just adds up I think. My brother had a long appendix wrapped around his bowel, my sister had bowel problems for 10 years and the surgeon said it was the longest appendix he had ever seen, I know they aren’t me but it’s just a generalization of how long mine might be in a femoral hernia if it’s hereditary.
Dr Ruley has me on two kinds of antibiotics this week and I feel like 50% better and the swelling has went down but the pressure is still here, I feel like once these run out tomorrow it’s going to come back with a vengeance and I’m really scared to be super sick again. I’m not the type of person to be a hypochondriac and run to the ER and such but this has been ridiculous and progressing much worse now. I don’t want to send this to you and seem like an idiot printing medical journals and have to beg for help, and I don’t know if this is it but it’s something. Please help with exploratory surgery or something, I think you will be amazed, please try.

See in this video they show small bowel going threw the femoral hernia wall, but look right above the leg see that big bulky start of the large bowel, that is the cecum, attached to the bottom of the cecum is the appendix, it goes into the femoral hernia like a finger and gets stuck because the muscle is so tight in there femoral canal it's call the femoral ring, if the cecum is FULL (constipation) it's a hard surface to push threw the canal, I used to get constipated real bad back in 2002 working at Budweiser, I had 42 stores running all day long like a chicken with my head cut off, plus I had hernias from before to help keep me constipated I had always had problems with it, I got real sick working and took 3 days off and this is when all this started, really I know this is where it started in 2002 when I worked at Budweiser lifting like 10 cases of beer at a time to rotate displays (HERNIA). I was real constipated from other hernias I had from since I was younger I think moving furniture and stuff for my mother she had 14 houses and I have moved furniture and refrigerators and such since I was like 8 years old, they fixed those hernias like 3 years ago on my left side, but the main pain and problem on my right since 2002 has been killing me. So the cecum was full and caused a hernia of the femoral canal, but the only part of the cecum to get stuck in there was the appendix. I know this is it, it all makes sense now, and my right foot goes numb when doing real bad because the swollen appendix when it's more inflamed pushes against those arteries going threw the femoral canal also. Some people have had femoral hernias of the appendix for 15 years, there are about 2100 cases of it reported each year, only 12 in history have ever burst because the muscle is so tight on it that it keeps it from filling up to burst with pressure.

Hello,
Just another day, just woke up moaning my hip join and swelling in my hip and right crotch is unreal I could swear this is a hernia kinked off. It's just throbbing and I can't eat hardly it's misery. My back is sore too like it's tearing me up, I could swear it's leaking now and it like drips burning inside about once every 30 minutes or so. Burns real bad to the black spot. Like a herinia is kinked off and throbbing and swollen and about to rip open and drips a drop.

A doctor please help me, I'm in pain and misery, suffering bad.
Hello,
This is my first blog ever, I don't know where to begin, I'm a 38 year old male from Indianapolis, Indiana, I'm married to a wonderful woman, she's great for me in life and Angie's beautiful inside and outside, I couldn't have done better I love her so much, we got married when she was 16 and I was 18, it's been almost 20 years now and she still looks 16. We have two great boys Derek 18 a Senior in high school, & Trent 16 a freshman in high school.
Here's what's going on, I have been in misery and pain for years, it's gotten so bad now in the last 3-4 weeks I can't believe I wake up some mornings, it's intestinal I'm sure, I have swelling and pain in my right hip with throbbing burning pain from it and a black spot on my lower hip leg area I can feel the burning pressure and pain dripping to the black spot, the spot has been here for over 3 years now, it all started back in like 2002 when I worked and lifted a lot of heavy stuff so I'm just about sure it's a femoral hernia but the doctors have run a lot of test and can't seem to find it, CT scans, MRI, barium, the entire work up. Now I have been worked up so much the doctors give up even, I can't get them to even check me anymore and it's gotten so bad it's unreal. They just pat me on the back and send me home saying well you have been checked and we can't find it basically, 10 doctors later they use the old test still. I don't really go to the ER but maybe twice this year, I don't want Anthem to drop me but it's gotten so bad now I'm afraid to go because if they send me home again and all hope is lost plus I don't want my insurance to drop me or something like it's abuse of the system or something. I have tried the safe good route to get this found and fixed but they don't get it, like this black spot and swelling is in my head or something, they are the ones that are nuts :-) It feels like I'm squishing a water balloon in my right hip when I sit on it, and it rumbles in there as a I pass gas or anything moves in there it hurts all the way to the black spot bad. I moan all night long after eating and stay up until 5am moaning, it's worse when sitting like it's kinked my intestines off in my hip bone area. I really feel it rumble and everything in my hip it's crazy, and like a drip burning every 30 minutes or so like it's about to rip open but doesn't do it yet, my back and right hip side is so sore now it's like I have been hit by a car, if I take laxatives it's worse until i can evacuate it all, it burns like heck to the black spot, please help me someone out there I'm begging, I have insurance Anthem, so it's not like a doctor doesn't get paid I just need someone to help find it and want to think about it and find it.
I have photos of the black spot from last year and the year before even and now it's getting larger then my hand wrapping up under my right butt cheek, the doctors always ask if I fell LOL, it's burning so bad and the pressure and pain is unreal especially 1 hour after I eat. they took my gallbladder out a couple months ago but I hurt up under my right ribs real bad still and in my back there with pressure too, maybe it's gas rising up from the hip area or something I hope it's not liver leaking bile down to my hip causing this, making the pain feel like it's at the bottom more but I really think something is leaking some in my hip like a hernia with a ton of pressure and it's gas rising up, but really I don't know they can't find it and I have no clue either. I tremble a bit too like I'm in a small amount of shock at times, it's really really painful and the sickness you can't believe how tough I've been and fighting this. Please, some good doctors out there with some compassion and common sense, help me please.
