Reply To: Tissue repair experiences – pain and recovery

[Watchful]

It truly varies from patient to patient. I didn’t have much visible swelling after the surgery. Only a bit around the incision area. I could feel internal swelling, though. It was nothing like the size of my hernia, but my hernia was very large.

My roommate had more visible swelling, even though his recovery was much better than mine. He basically had almost zero pain or discomfort.
