Hi all... just looking for advice really. Had Open repair left side with mesh just 4 weeks ago and making good progress apart from slight groin numbness and a small amount of pain... Yesterday while in my car..I had to brake sharpish and felt sharp pain in my tum where hernia was repaired.. nothing major... but today I'm really struggling with pain... feel like I've gone back a week in my recovery.. do you think the quick movement has caused any damage..?
Doesn't sound good. Better give the doctor a call...better safe than sorry.
Best wishes!
Was this surgery a second surgery? Doesn't sound good so I would check with the doctor. Hope all is okay!
No.. first surgery Lucy...going to see if it settles down.... thank you 😊
Thank you Susan...I was just saying to Lucy..Im going to see if it settles down... will go back to docs if still in pain... think I might of probably done too much as well.. need to chill.... you think you're better as pain subsides but forget your insides are still healing..
