A member asked:
I had an open inguinal hernia surgery. when i laugh it hurts after surgery and still feels uncomfortable after 4th week. will it mess my surgery up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries : No. This is well within the expected period to have post-op pain. The pain should gradually improve but anything you do vigorously will cause some discomfort for the next several months.
