Hernia mesh problem - help needed

Posted By big freak

"Hernia mesh problem - help needed"

About: Crosshouse Hospital / General Surgery

(as the patient),

I had hernia operation in 2013 at Crosshouse hospital. I was left with fluid trapped behind hernia mesh. Hospital is refusing to do anything. Am in constant pain 24/7 affecting my life by not sleeping, pain when trying to do basic things. Struggle every day getting my son to school which is 5 mins walk from my house. I need someone to help me as I can’t continue being like this 24/7

Hello big freak

I am sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing. If you could email me your details on attica.wheeler@aapct.scot.nhs.uk I can try to look into your case further and seek advice from someone as to a way to support you further.

I respond initially to most of the posts and ensure they are passed to the appropriate team whether they are compliments, observations or grumbles. It is important to make sure all issues are addressed and I try to encourage that to happen for all the posts as required.

Dear big freak,

Thank you so much for contacting us. I understand you had a chat with one of our Clinical Nurse Mangers for Gynaecology, and it transpires that you attended general surgery.

We have a plan of action as you know; one of the general surgery team will contact you shortly.

All the best,

Eunice.
