Do you start with the good news, or the bad news? Or maybe there is no good or bad...just news. Anywho, the surgeon says, "yes" to the hernia question (but very small), and "no" to having surgery. Why? "Won't fix what's ailing you." Well, that at least is refreshing...a doc that doesn't want to prescribe a drug or perform an operation just because. Of course that does beg the question, "ok, what is causing the pain?" He thinks it is actually a latent injury from the motorcycle crash that is coming home to roost (hip and/or groin tweak). The solution? MRI to diagnose *if* insurance will pay for it. Hmm...to be continued.
