Where to get a swift inguinal hermia repair.
Discussion
The end of day 3.
Sore again today. It's not bad - it just seems like the wounds are pulling tight and bruising is coming out. But I am still quite swollen and I think there is still a fair degree of internal swelling. My whole belly still seems distended from the procedure... and from not having exercised for 6 weeks possibly.
I think the relatively painless day 1 was either the result of the continued effects of the anaesthetic or my body's natural chemicals looking after me.
I am trying not to take too many painkillers so that I can gauge what my body is telling me. Today it was mostly telling me, "listen to the PH lads, take it easy".

Today is 7 days since surgery.
I am pain free most of the time, though I get the occasional twinge between my hip and groin. I also get some incision soreness periodically.
I am still quite bruised below my navel and some places further down where I'd prefer never to see bruises!
I am also still weirdly inflated abdominally from the gas they used. It seems to come and go. One minute I look back to normal and then after I eat or if I walk any distance I blow up again and my wounds become sore. Does anyone know how long that takes to resolve?
Exercise-wise I have been out for a walk every morning and the last 2 mornings I did about 3 miles. It doesn't hurt but as I mentioned above I find that my belly becomes swollen and tight by the end.
