Question 1

cramp pain 2yrs after hiatus hernia op?

Accepted Answer

Could be anything : It depends on details like where the pain is, what are the aggravating and alleviating factors, what i the quality of the pain (crampy) and is it similar to the symptom before the repair, does the pain radiate, how did it start and how often is the pain. You should see your doctor to sort it out.

Question 2

i have cramps on my stomach which i can't get rid of. i have an hiatus hernia but it's not popped out?

Accepted Answer

Stomach cramps : More information is needed. Do you have diarrhea, nausea, problems swallowing, lose of weight, how long?

Question 3

is a hiatus hernia associated with severe pain?

Accepted Answer

GERD: A hiatal hernia is often associated with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (gerd).  This can be associated with severe "heartburn", especially after bending over, lying down or after eating some foods.

Question 4

is it possible to feel a hiatal hernia "pop"back into place?get severe cramping for days stretching helps little until "pop" feeling then temp relief.

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: Most sliding hiatal hernias would not give you that sensation. It would also not cause cramping pain normally. I would see your doctor and if your symptoms (heartburn or trouble swallowing) are severe, consider repair.

Question 5

can a hiatal hernia cause charlie horse like cramping under and behind right ribs?

Accepted Answer

Multiple causes: The most common pain related to a hiatal hernia is the "heartburn" pain of gastro-esophageal reflux of stomach acid. The pain you're having, although possibly from the hernia, may be originating from musculoskeletal structures in the chest wall, but other causes related to lungs or even heart must be considered.

Question 6

taking domperidone, nexium (esomeprazole) appx 8months getting severe pain knees/hips at nite 2-4 times per week also have hiatal hernia is meds causing this?

Accepted Answer

Malabsorption?: Those medicines could be causing you to have a malabsorption problem where the stomach is not absorbing the nutrients and minerals that it is supposed to. Check out "why stomach acid is good for you" by dr. Jonathan wright. Things like zinc, vit b12, and others may be deficient in you causing your muscles to ache.

Question 7

i had gastroschisis at birth, many intestinal blockage removals, and my hiatal hernia mesh causes severe pain 10 yrs later. vegan, uninsured. advice?

Accepted Answer

Gastroschisis: Complicated history. Are you sure you have mesh from a hiatal hernia repair? That's relatively rare. Not an umbilical hernia? Hard to say what the pain is from. Scar tissue vs obstruction vs mesh. If you are in KY i would see dr. Josh steiner.

Question 8

i was diagnosed with hiatus hernia. symptoms- some reflux, and bad breath. any solutions to bad breath ? any home remedies ?

Accepted Answer

A few options: First it is important to brush your teeth twice a day and floss regularly. (make sure to brush the tongue as well) drink lots of water. Chewing sugarless gum or sugarless candy will stimulate saliva which will wash away additional debris. You can also use over the counter mouth rinses or antiseptic mouth-rinse products. Hope this helped :].

Question 9

how to cure bad breath from hiatus hernia ? reflux is barely there, oral hygiene is perfect.

Accepted Answer

Breath: Treat the reflux and the hernia. These are you best options and glad the hygiene is excellent.

Question 10

any remedies for hiatus hernia ? symptoms include some burping, bad breath, some reflux.

Accepted Answer

Maybe: First line therapy would be acid blocking medications such as h2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors.  If those do not work surgery to correct the hernia may be needed.  Given that you are young, i'd consider surgery sooner than later as we are just learning some of the long term issues with chronic anti acid medication.  One example is increased osteoporosis due to decreased calcium absorption.
