Question 1

i'm having hip pain in both hips after having umbilical hernia surgery 4 weeks ago?

Accepted Answer

Umbilical hernia: Umbilical hernia surgery is not expected to cause hip pain or any type of joint pain. It is best to connect with your primary physician for evaluation of hip pain.

: Since you have so many possible pain generators, would explore with your doctor, whether you have hip labral tear, whether testicle pain due to kidney stone, whether hernia has recurred, whether low back has worsened.  Good luck.

Accepted Answer

You : You maybe describing sciatica.  That is leg pain caused by a pinched sciatic nerve.  Sciatica commonly presents with back, hip and leg pain and may be associated with numbness and tingling and weakness.  Mri scan best shows a pinched nerve in the back.  Treatment includes rest, anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, steroid injections and sometimes surgery.  For more information see my health guide on lumbar disk herniations and sciatica.  Good luck!

Question 5

i had umbilical hernia repair surgery a week ago and i have pain in my right side just above my hip for the last 3 days. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Probably ok: Did you have a laparoscopic or open repair? Is there an incision near your area of pain? It is probably just muscle soreness after the operation. If you are eating normally, having normal BMs, and no fevers or drainage from your incision then it is very likely normal recovery. Nevertheless, you should see your surgeon to ensure everything is ok.

Question 6

what can i take for testicular pain after hernia surgery?

Accepted Answer

Pain medication : You can take tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen, or if the pain is really bad, narcotics like vicodin or codeine.

Question 7

can you tell me about hernia surgery?

Accepted Answer

Repairs weakness: There are several types of hernia surgery, the most common is inguinal and is best handled as an outpatient with local anesthesia.  Here small intestine slides out of the groin or inguinal canal and this opening is closed preventing bowel from sliding out.
A ventral hernia is a weakness in the belly  wall and usually requires some type of mesh to give the belly wall strength.

Question 8

after hernia surgery, is hardness normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: We call this the "healing ridge". Should be gone by 6-8 weeks. If you're really concerned however, call your surgeon for an exam.

Question 9

do i have to go to pt after hernia surgery?

Accepted Answer

NO: Just resume your normal routine when you don't have pain.

Question 10

how long is the recovery for hernia surgery?

Accepted Answer

Hernia surgery: The recovery time after hernia surgery varies, depending on the location of the hernia, the size of the hernia, the type of repair, as well as the patient's underlying physical issues. Most surgeons would recommend that the patient avoid any lifting for at least 2 weeks and to avoid heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks. I would suggest you ask your surgeon that same question.
