That doesn't sound like a great deal.
It sounds like a terrible deal, to be honest.

What's your pain source?
I've just had a hernia op, and it still feels like someone is trying to rip open my groin when I stand up.
Why they'd want to do that I can't imagine.

Everything else is fine though
Kind of makes it worse

I had an umbilical hernia about 13 years ago
Absolute fucking agony. I am currently suffering from a severe bout of IBS, with associated trapped wind and constipation. The medicine that works is manufactured in Germany, so we can't get it any more.

We've been through this before, that 'manufactured in Germany so we can't get it' thing is completely untrue.

Well, every doctor and pharmacist I've asked has told me they can't
