I am assuming you aren’t in chronic pain now and are just asking for FYI on activities after hernia repair, correct?

I would hope you can resume your normal lifestyle. I am 43, 3.5 months post bilateral inguinal robotic mesh repair. I had a slower recovery but am now resuming all my activities again. I am easing into some things, mostly because my fitness is not back to where it was prior. I am also working on rebuilding core strength, which will take a while. My core strength and flexibility really took a beating. That said, I am hiking and mountain biking about as aggressively as my fitness and strength allow. I still have aches and get sore (one side is worse that the other), but that does not limit activity. Best of luck to you, and be patient.

mccor50, Any update on the burning pain, now that is has been a year and half? What ended up happening? How are you now, well over a year later?

I’m curious as about 4-5 days post-op, I started to have sever burning in the skin on my left side (inguinal area). Oddly, about 3 weeks later, this burning subsided and I developed a severe herpes blister at the left base of my penis, next to my scrotum. I have had herpes forever, but never had an outbreak this painful, with intense skin burning. Anyway, just wanted to share, as this was odd for me. At first I was sure it was a nerve issue related to the surgery.
