I was 16 when the pain first started. went in and out of PT and through my soccer clubs doctors here in virginia. Finally went to the VCU sports medicine doctor. he diagnosed me with a labrem tear and i went ahead and had that surgery. Had pains first week back into running. PT told me it was scar tissue. Went back to VCU where he gave me a list of doctors i could see. The one you guys mentioned in Germany and Colorado and then a Guy at Duke and then Dr. Meyers. Got in as soon as i could. Saw him for the pre op day with mri and what not. He straight up told me that he does not think the surgery is going to help me and that he would love to figure out whats going on with me kind of like an experiment. I am from VA 5 hours south so we decided to go through with the surgery and he found alot of tears on my right and repaired but didnt want to mess with my left even though there were problems. So here i am 4 years after original pain and 1.5 years after last surgery and I have no agility and have spent the entire summer training for preseason for my 2nd year of college soccer and my left one completely gave out. I want to curl up and die. I plan on going to see Meyers at the end of the season. And for everyone who was complaining about his personality, he is very very cocky but when your one of the best in the profession it goes to your head.<br /><br />Have you guys had problems with your agility and cutting post op?

I had researched enough to know I wanted Myers to operate on me instead of Muschaweck who i met with in Denver when she was state side. I had bi-lateral rectus tears and man on man did Myers do a killer procedure on me. Everything is gravy now, I'm almost 2 yrs post op.

You should count yourself lucky. You must've caught him on a slow day when he had few appointments. When I met with him and only had 1 page of questions with accompanying pictures and images to help exemplify my questions, he did nothing but hurry me along and then insulted me by asking why I wouldn't trust his judgment. That really pissed me off and I barked back at him that the issue wasn't about 'trust' but that I just had question to ask to better help me understand my condition and what he planned to do to me surgically to help. What an arrogant, egotistical SOB he was that day! And to be an even more of a jerk, out of the blue he changed his mind on my prognosis for recovery. The first day we met he was bragging about his 95% success rate for this type of surgery. Mere seconds after asking him my 1 page of questions, which I had to labor at with him because he simply showed no interest in allowing me to continue, he looks at my file and said, "ohh, you're not a professional athlete?" I replied, "no, you asked me that when we first met and I told you I was not, I'm just an avid sportsman and exerciser at the gym." And his comeback, just to be an ass was, "ohhh, well in that case, I can only give you a 50% chance of healing up properly after my procedure on you." Did I mention what an SOB he is?!? After some more talk, this time my wife chimed in to see if she could have any better luck getting him to answer questions without the attitude, he looks at me and asks, as if his cojones just tripled in size, after everything he had just said to me, "So, when would you like to get this scheduled for me to take care of it?" Man, how out of touch can one be with his own massive ego and how you just got done speaking to a patient who is walking around in pain. I got the hell outta there after that!!<br /><br />As for Muschaweck in Germany, while others may have had some good luck with her, I have to recommend that you avoid her! Usually, what happens is that the ones that say that she is good are the ones that healed up nicely without any lingering chronic groin pain afterward. If you are one of the unfortunate guys that does have continuing pain after her surgery, be prepared to get brushed to the side and quickly forgotten. 'Out of sight, out of mind' must be her motto. She will quickly distance herself from you if you try to make her accountable for proper aftercare and help. I've spent the last 2 years researching and finding Dr. Muschaweck patients that ended up having botched surgeries by her - botched in the sense that they did okay for the first 6-12 weeks, then the pain came back and all she could recommend is for you to take more pain killers and vitamins. Yeahhh, right...massive amounts of vitamins will heal anything! What a crock!! I cannot recommend her to anyone! She has even abandoned pro athletes that did not do well after her procedure - which shocked the hell out of me. If you need more proof to stay away from here, do a google search for "Muschaweck Malpractice". You'll find that someone finally filed a lawsuit against her for medical malpractice. No, it wasn't me. I wish I had the money at the time as I would've probably joined him. So, my recommendation - find a USA-based sports hernia doctor to go to (but not Meyers), so that if something unexpected goes wrong, you will at least be able to see him and not have to worry about flying back and forth to Germany numerous times and draining your savings.<br /><br />All my best wishes for those living with the pain and torment of a sports hernia and my hopes that you find 'the one' that can heal you and stand beside you when things don't go as planned.iamfuerzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393496817671723301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711629658094878168.post-70262478288028305572011-05-28T05:12:13.344-07:002011-05-28T05:12:13.344-07:00I think that you should go to a SH surgeon to get ...I think that you should go to a SH surgeon to get looked at. It doesn't hurt to, and at least you would get that eliminated as a cause to your pain. I had a SH but no one knew what my pain was from. I did PT for 6 months with nothing getting better, only worse. I am a runner and by the end could only run 2-3 miles before I had so much pain I literally could not run. I went to Dr. Meyers and completely recommend him. He took the time to talk to me and answer my 2 pages of questions. I guess the main point I am saying is no PT won't fix you if you have a SH, you can't rehab a tear in muscles.

That being said, I still have hip and knee aches when and after I run, but I had that before the sports hernia, so that's not her fault. B/C of her SH surgery, I have no more groin pain when I run, which completely prevented me from running for the past six months. At present, I can run, but am focusing on the bike b/c running pounds my hips and knees too much.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563323557979493157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711629658094878168.post-74176245748352042702011-03-27T21:03:25.887-07:002011-03-27T21:03:25.887-07:00please help. iv had hip pain for three yrs. my g...please help. iv had hip pain for three yrs. my general physician couldnt tell me anything so she referred me to a sports medicine doctor. he diagnosed me with a growth plate fracture. i was to rest for 2 months and go to physical therapy. this seemed to relieve the pain for a little while until track season came around again. i went back to the sports medicine doctor he told me i could make an appointment with a hip specialist and go back to physical therapy. So i went to physical therapy again. the appointment with the specialist wasnt for another 6 months so i ended up having to cancel it and scheduled with another doctor i heard of from friends. he turned out to be worthless only sending me to physical therapy yet again where i was eventually kicked out because i wasnt improving. finally i got an appointment with the first specialist. he diagnosed me with a sports hernia and referred me to surgeon. I had surgery right away and now 4 months later have been in the same if not worse chronic pain as before for the last 3 months. i dont enjoy working out anymore because it brings on too much pain but i hate the feeling of being weak and out of shape. should i just accept the pain like iv tried to for so long or schedule another appointment? is there another solution that could help me i havnt considered?trackrnnrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015761530478726229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711629658094878168.post-63324143236951710812011-03-27T20:59:03.614-07:002011-03-27T20:59:03.614-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.trackrnnrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015761530478726229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711629658094878168.post-13840879951901509192011-03-26T09:27:53.272-07:002011-03-26T09:27:53.272-07:00Please check out Dr. William Brown, MD's websi...Please check out Dr. William Brown, MD's website: sportshernia.com.Kelley Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825255061942224682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711629658094878168.post-31671839681011606702011-03-17T09:00:32.188-07:002011-03-17T09:00:32.188-07:00Coming back around, I discovered this blog last Ju...Coming back around, I discovered this blog last June when I was looking for a SH surgeon. I'm 49, have had several sports injury surgeries, have had one major misdiagnosis before (saved from surgery that time by a second opinion), so I tend to be cautious and lean toward getting another opinion if someone suggests surgery. In the case of a SH, I was relying on blogs and internet info - I didn't know anyone who had a SH - with that kind of remote info, it feels dicey getting surgery, but I went ahead and saw Meyers, and the visit didn't go as expected (the price was a big factor). Knew as little about Dr. M. in Munich but she was more affordable, and honestly, I read more positive than negative patient remarks about her (not very objective data - depends on which website you go to - but what do you do in the absence of info?) The days were slipping by, and my kids are young and active, and I wanted to be active with them, so I went to Germany. As doctors go, Dr. M. is as good as any I've seen - she isn't perfect (who is?) and Germany's a hike, but as the saying goes, you buy your ticket and take your chances. It's been two months since the surgery, and no major complaints. I had a small walnut sized SH on my left side, and maybe it was a relatively easy fix. As you suggest, it doesn't work out that way for everybody, but here's to hoping that it does.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563323557979493157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711629658094878168.post-86210003900596122902011-03-17T07:44:33.600-07:002011-03-17T07:44:33.600-07:00I'm more frustrated (rather than mad) that peo...I'm more frustrated (rather than mad) that people put all their faith in doctors - as if doctors, or a particular doctor is certain to have the answer. I really don't rate doctors that highly and take a lot of what they say with a pinch of salt. I question everything - after all you're potentially putting your life in their hands. The more you look into medicine (and science in general) the more it seems that things aren't as they seem. Even when a doctor thinks they've found a solution or a scientist finds the ultimate formula, somebody usually comes along and obliterates it a few years down the line - or at least see's things from another perspective - so nothing is certain as we know it. Anyway, yeah it's good that we keep advancing and pioneering. Would be good if doctors went out of business for dodgy surgery etc but I don't think it's as simple as that. Would be good if there were more doctor review sites online. Also I don't think doctors should be allowed to run as a private business which encourages medical engagement for profit. Maybe there should be a system whereby they must all share their findings. Heath and medicine should be as loosely linked to money as possible. Anyway that's my view on the money side of things but a bit off topic.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09855212580146065610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711629658094878168.post-33369160255534025782011-03-17T07:28:34.632-07:002011-03-17T07:28:34.632-07:00True, there's no one all-encompassing reasonab...True, there's no one all-encompassing reasonable answer, but there are reasonable answers.(We may not know the answer yet, but that's another story) Never said you were ranting nonsense. If you say you're not mad at doctors, fine. (You did sound mad, but the written word is easily misinterpreted) I don't know whether doctors are pioneering techniques for their own success or for the good of humanity. Whatever they pioneer for whatever reason, I hope they keep trying - if it's successful, everyone benefits. If not successful, the doc will eventually go out of business, leaving it for a future doctor to discover a better idea.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563323557979493157noreply@blogger.com
