You are so soon after surgery, you’ll likely still not feel normal again in that area for 6 months or longer so just be patient, there are many changes going on inside that take a long time to fully heal

The fixation technique can cause issues which is why its seen as a positive not to fix it as a suture or tack into a nerve will give you chronic ongoing pain

Thanks for sharing GI

The most important thing is to find a very exeperienced surgeon who only does hernia repairs, I wouldn’t have laproscopic personally and many surgeons who practiced this in the past have gone back to open repair as they think it’s a better approach. I perosnally had a Shouldice type of repair as I just didn’t like the idea of a huge piece of mesh in me that can initially be just fine but destroy you years later. Time will tell if I made the right decision but I’m 6 months out from surgery and feel just fine, no pain at all.

You’ll read pros and cons for all the solutions but do your research and then pick your posion, there is no fix thats perfect and has zero chance of chronic pain.

I think everyone is aware MarkK is another Chuck sock puppet account

[Oceanic]

Hope you make a swift recovery, you’re a braver Man than Me letting a 75 year old operate on You

[Oceanic]

Heartbreaking Story Peter, I’m so sorry. Dr. Conze is a lovely Man with a lot of integrity, you chose one of the best to look at your case.

I’d risk losing a testicle to get in a better position if it were me, it’s not like they are much use to you as it stands

I just don’t understand why Dr.Brown did this to you, he should be hit with criminal charges.

[Oceanic]

I think we all know MarkK is also Chuck

The old double bluff of Chuck moaning about the proliferation of sock puppet accounts on here is beyond insulting to everyones intelligence like most of the garbage he continues to post

[Oceanic]

Fantastic post Mark, I’m sure this will help many people faced with a similar decision.

[Oceanic]

This forum needs at least one active moderator which I’m sure Dr.T doesnt have time to do, toxic idiots like Chuck need stamping out, swiftly and permanently.

[Oceanic]

Peter I am so sorry to read about your situation, my heart goes out to you. I hope you can find some way to get some improvment in quality of life. Speak to Dr.Conze over the phone, explain your sitaution, I’m sure he will give you an honest opinion of whether he thinks he could do anything to help You.

3 Month Update

I’m pleased to report things have continued in a positive direction, the scars and healing ridge are ever so slightly softer and more comfortable now. I still have no pain whatsoever and when I stretch there is barely any tightness felt.

I sometimes forget I’ve had surgery and think about it less and less but still get the occasional twinge and sensation which is be be expected, tissue is still remodeling but it’s in no way painful. Will update again at the 6 month point unless anything changes significantly.

I have No regrets on getting the surgery and although it was a tough first few weeks the experience and skill of Dr. Conze has proved itself with how I feel now and the likely end result.

[Oceanic]

Good spot, Chucks in drag now posting more utter nonsense about 25% testicle rate loss, will it ever end?

[Oceanic]

This is so obviously Chuck again

[Oceanic]

2 weeks for the scar tissue to form and for it to set I think, the mesh can still fold or migrate years later though.

[Oceanic]

From what I gather some are self fixing but speak to a surgeon as advice on here can be sketchy, I’m not a medical professional just someone who’s had a hernia and learnt a bit on the way

[Oceanic]

Hi Mark, your story shocked Me, I hope you are doing better now and are in a better place, please update as to how you are feeling now. I very nearly went to Dr.Koch as well but I read a review that was concerning and decided to have surgery with Dr. Conze instead in Germany, I’m also from the UK

[Oceanic]

Please do and good luck with your next steps to get this sorted out

[Oceanic]

Agreed, the awful mis-informaiton and fear he spreads does need countering

[Oceanic]

I could barely walk to start with and then it was painful to walk any distance, but day by day I could increase my range. Hang in there it should get better, just listen to your body it wants to heal, give it a few weeks/months and you’ll notie week by week things improve.
