▲ 3 r/Hernia
Feels like I might've messed up my repair
Had pain in my scrotum for months leading up to me finding out I had a right inguinal hernia. Had surgery 8 weeks ago. Felt pain free after 3 weeks. Doctor's only instructions were no heavy lifting for 4 weeks. 6.5 week post op, I lift something pretty heavy at work. Felt fine. Woke up the next day and pain is back in the scrotum, groin, and right abdomen. Pain is very dull, nothing too extreme. Been icing and taking Advil/Tylenol for 1.5 weeks now.
Have a follow up with surgeon next week.
