The docs cut me open and put a screen in and stitched me back up. After the pain meds wore off i was in terrible pain during the smallest move. This pain only lasted 2 days. On the 3rd day I was back in the gym.
Sorry to hear about your accident. Hopefully you get it all sorted out soon!
Good luck.
Similar experience here. I developed a inguinalhernia several years ago. Had the operation to fix it with the mesh. The first day after surgery was the hardest. I never used the prescribed pain meds, just small amounts of Advil, but by the third day, not much pain left and I was up and around doing things. Back to normal after a week. Could feel the mesh pulling around occasionally for a few months, but it never bothered me on the bike.
