Doc says it's time to fix a hernia I've had for a few years now. I plan on waiting until after canoeing season. Any tips from similarly afflicted trippers? Does the repaired area cause any lasting impacts to your tripping techniques?
Well it won't get better and a strangulated bowel on a canoe trip is a life threatening problem.
Just curious since I've never known anyone who's had hernia. For those of you that have had it would you mind sharing what brought it about? Is it always due to some sort of heavy lifting/exertion or does it sometimes happen just because?
