Perplexing symptoms
Hello. 5 months in from bilaterial inguinal hernia repair done laprascopically with “medium” weight mesh TAPP method.
I have completed one month of physical therapy and have finally made it back to the gym doing light weights. I mix in things learned from PT such as lunges, leg press, stretching, etc. I also am able to do about 20 minutes of treadmill walking at a brisk pace and stationary bike. Also, back to doing a couple hours of yard work.
When doing these activities, I feel pretty good. Not perfect, but pretty good.
The problems arise when I stop. Usually about 30 minutes to an hour after is when the groin gets a little sore and feels weak.
It does respond well when I rest a little once that happens, but then is a little sore and weak for the remainder of the day.
Also, standing or walking around for over an hour leads to the same sensations.
Someone on this board suggested that I keep a log, which has proven helpful, and this is the trend that I’m noticing.
[USER=”2580″]DrBrown[/USER] [USER=”935″]drtowfigh[/USER] do these symptoms make sense? Would they give any idea perhaps of what is going on with me?
It would seem that if there were complications, that I would be feeling pretty bad most of the time, especially when doing physical activity?
Objectively, I am improving, as I could not do these things a few months ago, but something is still not right. It gets very deflating when I feel good, and then the discomfort creeps back in later.
Any chance that this could resolve where I get to the point that I get past this hurdle?
Thanks as always for your insights and for your great support! This forum is invaluable.
