A member asked:
I'm wondering how much time should i take off work for hernia surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on : Your work, how much physical activity is required. Also depends on size and location of hernia and your pain tolerance. So it is difficult to say without all the details. Consult with your surgeon on his recommendation for you.
