Hi, I posted on here asking for some advice before my surgery. I had it on 21st March through NHS. It was double inguinal hernia repair by keyhole with mesh.
Left side was ok, but surgeon said of the right side 'big, twisted and attached to other things. Difficult op. Surprised you've been walking'. That was a bit scary!! I had extra local anaesthetic on the right side for the extra work they did and had problems with the general anaesthetic. I was sick several times after the op and had to have 3 injections (not sure what they were) to stop it. A few days after the op I had really bad chest pains and was taken to hospital. Lots of tests, I was fine and told it was an after effect of the surgery. Apart from that recovery has gone ok. Haven't had much pain for the past week (none at the moment) and I've started walking 20-30 minutes a day.
My question is about exercise and what I should be doing. I haven't done any meaningful exercise since mid January due to the hernia and extremely little since the op. I'm a tennis player and ideally looking to get back to that in the next few months.
What should I be doing now? How do I build it up? Should I be focussing on core work or avoiding that completely? I really have no idea so any advice would be great.
