Jeremy Roloffhad an eye-opening experience about his health.
On Saturday, theLittle People, Big Worldstar, 29, revealed to fans that he recently had his very first surgery due to a hernia that he put off treating for a number of years. “Yesterday I had my first surgery. Inguinal hernia surgery,” the fatherwrote on Instagram.“I’ve had a hernia for the past few years, but thought I could live with it in order to avoid surgery, so I ignored it.”
“However, over the last several months I’ve been having some increasing health concerns, specifically severe lower back pain and chronic shoulder pain,” he explained. “I’ve come to realize that I’ve been subconsciously protecting my hernia with poor posture and lack of core strength. I’ve pretty much eliminated all physical exercise too which has increased the problem because of muscle loss which has me walking weird as well.”
A hernia occurs when an organ pushes through an opening in the muscle or tissue that holds it in place, according to theCleveland Clinic. For men, the inguinal canal is a passageway for the spermatic cord and blood vessels leading to the testicles.
