Hi archipiota, recovering from surgery like a hernia can take awhile so I hope you realize that it will take awhile before you totally feel normal, but for now it sounds like if you are still in a graet deal of pain and swelling that you should talk to your doctor to ake sure it's not a major issue. Can oyu please let us know how you are doing now because I know that it has been awhile sinc eyou last posted. Thanks again!

Hello, and thank you for your answer. It has been 4 weeks now since my surgery (laparoscopic) and i'm still with discomfort? I went back twice to my surgeon and he stated that he does not detect anything out of the ordinary he say's pain is not normal but i do not show any signs of infection, i guess it's my body adjusting to the mesh they used to repair the hernias and it's just a matter of time to heal??????

Hi archi, I'm sorry that your'e still experiencing discomfort! I think it's terrible because it sounds like you're not recovering the optimal way. I suppose it is a matter of time to heal but I think that since it's been a month and you're still feeling pain that it might at least be a good idea to get something like pain killers so that you can feel comfortable. Have you spoken to the surgeon about that?

Hello, I was researching about my surgery that I had last June and I'm still having pain form my hernia that i have done on the right side. My doctor keeps telling me that nothing is wrong, but I don't believe him anymore.I've seen 2 other doctors and one says you have to go the pain clinic and the other wanted me to get a cat scan. I have not had the cat scan, cuase my doctor said they won't tell much form the scan. Anyone with some good comments?
thanks.

I had inguinal hernia surgery on July 10. It's now August 12. If I don't move, I have no pain. If I sit down or stand up I get a sharp, shooting pain in the groin just past the surgical site. I can still feel the bump under the scar, like a flattened tootsie roll. The pain is stabbing and severe. Walking is not too much of a problem and I've resumed my normal fast walking speed, finally. But twisting, bending forwards or backwards invokes the sharp, electric like pain which is about an 8/10. Ready to ask for an x-ray or ultrasound to see if anything is amiss or if it's an adhesion, nerve entrapment or mesh problem. Considerably not happy.

What can be done to relieve pain following an inguinal hernia operation? It is now 10 years since the procedure was performed and I'm still in pain.

I had a right inguinal hernia operation 4 months ago. It still gets sore on and off. Is this some sign of complication or it is normal? Does playing golf affect it in any way?

I had bilateral inguinal hernia surgery two days ago. I am still in some pain. My main concern is the pain in my right testicle and some numbness on both sides of my penis. Is this normal?
