A member asked:
6 weeks ago had a hernia repair, healed fine no pain after 3 wks. been flu like last week, now repair feels bruised. could it b a infection?

Doubtful: May be exacerbated sensation of muscle aches associated with the flu due to recent trauma of operation. The healing process is actually still going on, and will be most active for about six weeks. Address any concerns with your surgeon to be sure.
