Mine has settled down after an awful four weeks through most of december,i was really worried with the pain seeing how my Lymphoma biopsies were taken from the groin.My head went in to overtime.Anyway seeing how i am decorating today all is well.But on holiday in October the pain was awful.i had a turn in a place called Eugene in America just before an Amtrak train journey,it was so bad i laid out full stretch on a wooden bench,and one of our tour party came to see me,she said i looked awful.well the massive seats and humungous leg room on the train enabled me to stretch out and sorted it.then i had one on the coach where i could not stretch out that was hell,and finally on the cruise ship in Alaska,i just had to stumble back to the cabin and lay down our cabin cleaner saw me and asked did i need medical help,i was able to tell him laying our for an hour or so sorted it.they are horrible near the end.

I have had inguinal repairs on both sides of my groin, first one 20 years ago, second was around 5 years later. I was fortunate no real post op pain and I was back to full activities within 2-3 weeks (both surgeons keen to tell me that being fit and slim is a very big factor in post op recovery). If is is a mesh repair then you will always get twinges as you essentially have a large piece of mesh stitched to your muscle, I still get the odd one to this day.
Had a letter from my aneurysm surgeon today saying that combining this and my upcoming hernia op is not a good idea due to the prospective complexity of the aneurysm op and I'll have to wait until after the recovery time fore the former.
Fair enough, although as I'm booked for a consultation with the anaesthetic consultant mid May, things are progressing - !

Had a 'phone call form my GP on Wednesday about an allergy test. Took advantage of the call and discussed my hernia & aneurysm operations.
Then had a letter from my aneurysm surgeon saying due to the complexity & length of said op, she doesn't recommend combining the two.
Then had a call booking the consult with the anaesthetic specialist for the middle of May, so things are now progressing - !
Means I'm stuck with the hernia until after the up to three month recovery period for the aneurysm op, but I'll just have to manage that eh - ?
