I had the hernias repaired to help with low back hip pain… Sadly the pain in my back is off the charts and I am told it has nothing to do with the surgery. Wish I’d left the small hernias alone. Surgical sites are sore and slow to heal. Hoping all will settle down soon. Thanks for the advice.

General question. Can it take a while for the numbness / dull ache etc. to resolve? Seems mostly from incision down on the pubic area. Has been almost 7 weeks.

Thank you. I am still waiting for my surgeon to get the ultrasound report. Hoping to hear today or tomorrow if it’s the lymphocele or there is an issue with the mesh.

Dr Goldstein do you mean 6 to 8 weeks post surgery for the seroma to resolve? Or longer than the average recovery time?

Thank you. I am hoping that 8 wks is the magic number to start feeling well again. It just pulls and hurts so I have avoided the things I love. Yoga etc. do you continue to exercise through the pain?

Ultrasound showed a small seroma under mesh. Can even the little ones cause you grief? And typically how long will it last. Feels like a painfull bubble. Worst at night.

Thank you for your response. Can the seroma make you feel really un well? This has been a tough recovery. Sad that I get more answers on here than from my own Dr.

Post op
I did have mesh implanted. Hernia on right wasn’t typical according to my surgeon. More like a weak spot? Looked more typical on the ultrasound. I have had pain when standing in my back groin hip for 6 yrs. very soon after a difficult hysterectomy when the hernia was found I was happy something may be the cause. Also had bilateral femoral hernias as a teenager ..lucky me. Appendix out at 8 yrs old. My guess is a lot of surgical adhesions. Left side hernia found as a fluke .. Not overly symptomatic except with certain exercises. I am very slim and fit. Decided to do both to avoid 2nd general anaesthetic. So… I have been steadily taking pain meds but feel the old pain in the right trying to come back. Sorry for the novel but any insight would be great. Only wish I lived in calfornia.
