    Hello Amemon. I see that your surgery was 6 weeks ago. What have you been doing, physically, since the surgery?

    One thing that I have found since my mesh removal surgery, especially in the early weeks/months afterward, is that sometimes more activity is better than more rest, for resolving pain. My thought is that the areas that have been damaged during surgery need the movement provided by physical activity to allow fluids to move and be replaced and for nerves and vessels to grow back in. There were days where I rested and waited for specific pain to resolve but it didn’t. So I would go out for a rigorous run or hike, and it worked.

    I found that activities that caused heavy breathing seemed to help a lot. Hiking in hilly terrain, biking, or similar. It can’t hurt to try it, I would assume

    Good luck.

    First of all thanks for reading my post and responding to it. For the first few weeks i was actually taking a lot of rest but after that i started taking walks and also my office is located on 2nd floor in a building so everyday i would take stairs rather than the lift, i don’t know if that will help or not. But I am not convinced that my testicular pain is related to the surgery as I had a similar kind of pain before the surgery. Anyway I will try to be more active and see if that helps.

    Did you experience any testicular pain before and after removal of mesh?? If yes was it similar to mine of different??

    Thanks again
