Reply To: How to overcome fear/anxiety and make yourself accept that you need surgery?

Hello Watchful, it sounds as though you’re continuing to improve, reading through the lines, I hope so and good news if so.

Pain after surgery does longer for quite a time even with less serious surgeries.

Also I recently burnt myself quite badly, and although recovering, I get sporadic pain over a month later. During periods of burn pain. I did think that considering what’s involved in hernia surgery pain for weeks and months after is not perhaps unsurprising.
