Stilton: Its felt like some kind of rodent has been chewing my groin for the last few weeks, so I had an ultrasound scan this morning and they found it. Relief. Now I can get it fixed, or maybe a zip put in - it might come in useful for something. A screen door sound good, too...
akhliber: Having them is no fun at all, but I'm glad you at least know for sure now so you can have it addressed. I've currently got one in the front seam of my stomach above the navel, but fortunately it isn't developed enough to be "in the danger zone" so to speak. I have to have it looked at occasionally, but don't need surgery at the moment, at least. I'm quite curious about the screen door as well! Sounds a bit fascinating, though not exactly comfortable. :)
The incision to 'install' it was from breastbone to pubic bone.
I don't recommend it, most painful surgery I've ever had and about 2 years to get used to it.
That's what I get for putting things off for too long.
