I had a hernia repair. it's been 23 days of recovery. i still feel weird walking. i feel weird in that area. is this normal?

Is about time: For complete healing in some may take another wk or so , go for a follow up visit o your surgeon.

Yes, definitely: Its very common to have symptoms, and for the area to feel 'weird', for weeks and months after a hernia repair. Symptoms to worry about include pain, redness of the skin, drainage, or increasing swelling or bulging of the area.
