A member asked:

I think i have a hernia. i have fshd muscular dystrophy and im 31. where i live the doctors no nothing about muscular dystrophy. what do i do?

See a surgeon: Where you live to see whether or not you have a hernia. If you need to have surgical repair, it would probably be best to go to a medical center for the operation, if you feel uncomfortable with your local doctors.
