I went in for a physical last spring. The doctor told me I had a double henia. I hadn't had any pain before that. The specialist that he sent me to told me to have the surgery because it wasn't going to go away. I had the lathroscopic. The first 5 days after the surgery were tough as it was very difficult for me to get off the couch. After that it was fairly painless. I was out of work for 3 weeks. I feel fine (just as I did before the surgery). The worst part about the whole thing was trying to take a shit for the first time after the surgery. Now I know what it must feel like to give birth. I would go get it checked out by your doctor. You don't want to wait until it's too late and you rupture.
Might not be a hernia. I NEVER suggest seeing a Doctor first, but if you have good insurance i would. Don't want too worry you, but doesn't sound like a hernia.
On the other hand could be a pinched nerve, they can take 6 mo. - a year to work out. Do SLOW streching exercises, and massage it "It works" ....GL....

Why do you need a doctor when you have all of these geniuses at the RX to diagnose your problem. You know you are getting A1 advise when you ask a bunch of people who yell at someone for picking a game they are not picking. I need a tooth pulled but I'm waiting for the bash to have one of you guys do it.
You had a different procedure as you probably had a "spehilian" hernia as opposed to a "linguinal" hernia. The procedure you received was probably the older remedy, where they cut through your stomach muscle and stitch the hole together as opposed to lathroscopic.
You are right, the recover is MUCH WORSE. Takes about 6 weeks before it is even safe to laugh, god forbid a sneeze or cough.
