WS,

I remember (many years ago) Stevie Burns wearing a wrap around his neck until a hernia there cound be repaired.

DJ,

My hernia was in the naval region. I would pop my bulging insides back with my thumb through the bubble formed by the tear after playing (perhaps more information than is necessary, but we're slaves to our art, yes?). A mesh/screen was eventually inserted to keep this from happening again.

Happy new year to you both,
EC
