One of our patients, Montenia Shider, is a very experience and outstanding jazz singer. Her song “Massachusetts” is going for a vote in the state legislature 10/24/23 @ 11:00am to become the official jazz song of the Commonwealth. We can’t wait! 🤞

Postoperative pain management can be tricky, and is highly variable. We use a regimen tailored to the patient, and try to minimize the use of narcotics due to their side effects. Here's some suggestions based off a recent study. We also encourage use of Myoflex cream or Aspercreme topically. We sometimes utilize special nerve blocks called a TAP block (tranversus abdominus plane) and even use epidurals in certain circumstances. Hope this helps!http://newengland-hernia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Postoperative-Pain-Management-Suggestions.pdf

Happy 2022 to everyone, and we hope you will have a healthy and prosperous new year. Even though there’s a pandemic, don’t put off taking care of yourself and your medical problems. Hernia disease is no different. Even though there is limited operating room capacity, we are still seeing patients in the office and via telehealth as usual. Here’s an interesting from way back in June 2020.

NEHC thanks our veterans for defending our homeland, and fighting for freedom. Whether in combat or logistics, no matter the branch, our armed forces put their lives on the line for all of us. Be sure to thank a veteran anyway you can.

246 years ago, the United States came together right here in New England to fire the first shot against a tyrannical government. Twenty years ago today, we were attacked because of our ideals and freedom, and once again, we came together as a nation.

The New England Hernia Center honors the innocent civilians and first responders that lost their lives during their daily routines, and performing acts of heroism. We also honor and support their families, friends, and survivors.

We will never forget.

After a dark thunderstorm, the earth rebounds, and comes alive. And sometimes the beauty resides in details easily overlooked. Hernia disease is no different. If you have a hernia related problem, we strive to see you’re beauty and potential after your thunderstorm. We focus on your details, and hope we can be part of your rebound after the storm, and emerge better than before.
