<s>[INST] My husband is real sore in his legs,back and stomach. also has diahrea. He is on dialysis 3 times a week he has had a bypass and he has COPD. He has also had 2 hernia patchs done and he says it hurts the way his hernia did? He is very stubborn and its hard for me to get him to go to the hospital. What are the possible problems. [/INST] Hi.Thanks for your query and an elucidate history. The possible problems are :-The recurrence of the hernia as the patches are held only if the muscles are strong, which is difficult in a Renal failure patient. -The diarrhea and pain in stomach, back and legs is suggestive of an intestinal infection.-Since is he on dialysis 3 times in a week , he must be visiting the hospital three time in a week. You can consult a Surgeon in the nest visit, there is no question of being stubborn. </s>
