A member asked:

I was operated on hernia ing. dex. one month ago. i have no pain anymore and i just want to make sure i won't damage the wound if i start running?

Start gradually: Start gradually and increase over time....no pain, no problem......you can stretch a surgical scar....if you have pain at the site, but no hernia, use advil or aleve, wait till pain goes away, then gradually resume activity
