Scared of hernia recurrence
Had open no mesh femoral hernia surgery almost 8 weeks ago now. I have weeks where I have zero pain and then as soon as I do a new form of exercise (as in since the surgery) I get pulling sensations and sharp pains around the surgery site. Haven’t been lifting much weight apart from every now and then doing some bicep curls etc. Yesterday I taught ballet for the first time again, and was literally marking every movement in order to not aggravate it. But after I had aching and sharp pains around the site. I have pretty bad health anxiety so my thought goes straight to the hernia coming back. I also have a hard Lump under the scar (told it’s scar tissue) but I still convince myself its a lump.
