I had an keyhole surgery on my hernia 18mths ago and I'm still painful .. it feels like pulling and I've asked my Dr he says it'll get better I've talked to my surgeon and he says it'll get better and he doesn't want to see me any more .. I just carn't seem to get any answers .. why am I still in pain???
Hi Martin, i am sorry you are still in pain i had open surgery for my hernia i am 37 years old and i was really fit before the operation running marathons and cycling now just walking leaves me in pain, and have been in pain ever since and now i have chronic pain everyday, i have seen two consultants who have asked for scans to be done all been declined and now i have to been sent to pain management clinic to start nerve blocking injections just been pushed from pillar to post really fed up now
I went to pain management he put me on more tablets and I had the nerve block done..STILL IN PAIN...
i have read it is short term fix i said this to the consultant and he just said yes but just want to try anything Martin
Hey Martin
What kind of hernia surgery did you have?
I had an umbilical hernia keyhole surgery with a mesh. It ruined my life for 3 years. It's all down to the mesh. They never told me the risks of it. Huge lawsuits about it in the states.
I had mine removed over a year ago and I'm close to me 100% normal again.
They usually don't need to use it, the mesh, but still ruin people's lives all the time. I hope you can get it sorted. BTW none of those pain blockers will work...
