I’m on my 20th day post nonmesh surgery. I was able to walk down stairs on the 3rd day and was off pain meds the next day. Of course getting up from bed was always a painful struggle (had to get up with my left side of the body using my left elbow to avoid pressuring the right side), had constant sharp pain in the operated area in the first week but is gone now. Absolutely try avoid sneezing because I had one and it fucking hurts like hell like somebody punched you in the groin area and the pain lingers for so long that I had to lay down and call it a day. Right now there’s still swelling in the area but is getting better as time goes.

I think you’re lucky to have an old doctor there who does Shouldice.

Indeed. He told me he was the one of the very few remaining surgeons in my local city that still practices the procedure and teaches it to some.

Do you know what kind of sutures were used? The material?

This never even crossed my mind. I’ll be sure to ask when I meet him again.
