Post op pain question
(41 M) I am just shy of 3 months out from my surgery and I’m having infrequent but intense pain and wanted to ask if anyone else had anything similar.
I had a femoral, bilateral inguinal and a naval hernia. At the beginning of March I had surgery and they used a Davinci 5 robot to stitch everything up and installed 2 meshes. They removed a 3 inch, by 1 ½ by ¼ inch ( Or 7.62 by 3.81 by 1.27 CM) mass of fat that had protruded from my right inguinal hernia. It also happened to interfered with some nerves and caused some damage that "should" get better.
The first month was reasonable, post op check up said everything looked fine. However towards the end of the second month, I starting having pain but only in the right side. It is linear from my pubic bone to my belly button. It only lasts 10 or 15 minutes and is like a cramp but with a sharp tingling pain. Then it goes away. I can go a few days without it, other times it hits me 2 or 3 times a day.
Any one else have anything like this post op? I have an appointment in 2 months to look everything over and I will bring it up then but I wanted to ask if any one was in the same boat.
Thanks and good luck to any one out there waiting for their turn to get patched up.
