i have admittedly, overdone it after my inguinal surgery just under 3 weeks ago. i am a basketball officiate and went back to work part time too early( days after surgery) . i also pushed snow too early once. i have discomfort and fluid build up where the hernia was. if i tore or did damage to the mesh, i would imagine the pain would be very bad. in short, i feel like an idiot for thinking i could be "normal" as quickly as i did. my question is, does it seem like i am in the clear if i just take it easy and stop with the activity that i have done?
Hiya, just to be safe and to stop you of being worrying ; I think you should get it checked; you will be fine. Best wishes, Merry Christmas.
Only time will tell. But mesh failure is common. you really didnt have to do much at all. I am a construction worker, and mice came back after a year of healing, I went back to work and the mesh FAILED! its that simple.
When did you have your surgery?
11 years ago.
Get it checked if your worried and if ok take it easy for a bit. I had 2 weeks off work after op and then took it easy for 6 weeks with various healing aches and pains. Nearly 3 months now and almost back to 100% but not quite yet.
Thanks, had an ultrasound done today. Meeting with physician Assistant on friday about results. I'm hoping I just have to restart the 6 weeks of rest again. And that I didn't screw up the mesh healing properly into the tissue.
