yes, only a couple small hernias noted , but not the bad kind. They are not linked. At this point, I'm getting an abdomen CT scan next week, a hip xray, as that's been a few years since the last, an EMG on 7/11 (also been 3 + years since the last one) , and a shot next week to rule out facet joint syndrome. I'm also going to present the thoracic results at my next appt, to make sure there is no correlation.
