Any of you gents had one? I went in yesterday and had it done, I must say I’m not liking it right now. At what point does the sharp stabbing pain subside when you stand up?

Had it done May 10th. It took about a week before I could move around without a lot of pain.

Had it done years ago. Don't recall much pain but did learn that if you don't follow the Dr. advice there will be consequences.

yeah, doctor said stay put as much as possible, I will be bored to tears by tomorrow.

It depends. Did you have laparoscopic or traditional surgery? I had it done via traditional surgery and it was quite painful for well over a week.

Mine was traditional, about a 3” incision.

Mine had about a five inch incision. Dang staples were very annoying. They were in for a week. Dr. told me I'd have the surgery on Friday and be able to go to work Monday. Pure BS. I was out of work for the entire next week. Had to roll out of bed for three days.

SOOOO glad you had it done!! Believe me if it was to injured down the road..... i spent a month in the hospital because it went septic and dam glad to be still here!!

One of my daughters had laproscopic inguinal hernia repair a couple years ago when she was 6....she was sore for several days. About a week later she was back to normal.

Get to feeling better and be sure to drink plenty of liquids

Please DO NOT lift anything heavy for a while.
I lifted a beer keg about a month after surgery, still feel a sharp pain occasionally 35 yrs later

Duly noted.

I had mine done on Dec 22, 2018. I still feel periodic pain. I think the numbness will never go away.

Moe you should have lifted the keg after you drank it dry, it would have been less painful

Yep, take it extra easy, also make sure you got soft number 2's, take something to make sure.

I had a laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery a couple of years ago. Bu the third day I was fully recovered. On day four my left testicls swelled to the size of a baseball. Intense racking pain if unsupported. That lasted about a week. Other than that a piece of cake.

My testes were swelled up and got infected from the hernia, and they already feel better. I got those twins elevated like the doc said to keep the blood out, and hopefully they won’t get swelled again. I am going to be a lazy arse and lay around and watch tv, something I never do. I don’t want to go thru this again. If all goes well, I will go back to work Monday, and just won’t lift anything for 60 days.

My BIL had it done last year, 3 months later was doing it again because he failed to follow Dr.'s orders. Now he lives with pain. Please be smart and TAKE IT EASY! for at least 2 weeks after Dr says you are ok.
