my husband underwent two hernia surgeries a few years apart. he experienced different levels of pain post surgery each time. some of the pain did extend beyond 6 weeks. most surgeons will suggest your pain will last 6 weeks and expect your body to follow protocol. however each person is unique and so is their healing process as well as pain tolerance. in the case of hernia surgery specifically if you had mesh inserted you may experience both healing pain as well as pain and/or discomfort from your body assimilating the mesh. i am not a medical professional but my opinion is that if your pain is accompanied by fever you need to call your physician. also only you can determine if the level of pain you are experiencing is intolerable in which case again i would recommend a call to your doctor.
is it normal to have pain/discomfort 6 weeks after hernia operation? . i had a ingurial hernia operation on the 23 of october and i still have constant discomfort and occasional pain in the area i had surgery. the surgeons put a mesh to prevent the hernia from reoccurring and it was right above my groin. i feel something is holding me tight (in the incision area) and i cant stretch properly and i am limping because i cannot make full strides. is this normal to still have pain and discomfort along with the other problems i mentioned this long after the operation?
