Post op hernia incisional pain and swelling

I had mine repaired 2 weeks and two days ago also. Still sore, same as you. Think about it as if you were cut deep in any other way...it would still be tender 2 weeks out...you will be fine..it will start to heal quicker now

I had mine last April. I was soar for a long time after. Take things slow and just rest it out. The pain and discomfort will wear down over time. Don't do anything to over exert yourself. I can promise you that the pain will go away after awhile. You will notice scar tissue for a very long time. I can still feel mine and have the occasional sharp pain.

I got a hernia a few moths after my appedix were removed, the hospital said it was my imagination. I had the hernia repair done a week ago and seemed to be getting better. The last two days I've been stuch in bed with cronic pain that the painkillers don't touch.

When I came out of surgery and was in resus the nurse asked how I felt, when I said really sore he replied you cant be but gave me more morphine, about 10 min later he asked again and again I said very sore, after he saw the surgon he gave me more morphine and I was taken to the ward.

On the ward my stats were low and I remained on oxygen for 18 hours, the nurse kept saying take deeper breaths and I couldn't due to the stabbing pain.

Now I feel so sore I can only walk for a few mins before I need to lay down and the pain is getting worse.

Please reply as I need advise

regards

What are the hernia pain causes? Can the use of tampons cause a repaired hernia more pain?
