As tolerated : Your activity level with a hernia , and even after a hernia repair should be as tolerated by pain and discomfort. You may want to have a consultation with a general surgeon to find out more. You can find surgeons interested in hernia disease at the Americas Hernia Society website. Hope this helps!
