Rick Rypien‘s “virus” update from The Vancouver Province:
The Vancouver Canucks announced Monday that Rick Rypien has a sports hernia injury and will require surgery. All this after the NHL club had said for days that the feisty winger had some sort of virus or viral infection.
“What happened was he came back and wasn’t feeling well, was tested and nothing came up,” coach Alain Vigneault said of Rypien leaving the team after an Oct. 17 game in Buffalo.
“He started to work out on his own and skate on his own and felt a little twinge in his abdomen and he went this morning to get evaluated by a specialist. They found a sports hernia tear on the left side, so he’s going to get operated on in the next couple of days and be out indefinitely.”
The article goes on to discuss Rypien’s history of injuries. It ain’t pretty.

There are some ways to cure hernia besides surgery. The victim of hernia should not lift heavy things, jump around, etc. It’s ok to do sit up, but if the hernia is worsening, stop the activity. This illness can be cured by acupuncture and Chinese medicine too. If anything fails, go to the doctor for further advice. Hopefully, Rypien can be healthy asap.

A hernia occurs when the contents of a body cavity bulge out of the area where they are normally contained. These contents, usually portions of intestine or abdominal fatty tissue, are enclosed in the thin membrane that naturally lines the inside of the cavity. Although the term hernia can be used for bulges in other areas, it most often is used to describe hernias of the lower torso..
