I was riding my bike, for a couple of hours, normal time frame, next day had pain in right side lower back hip area, pain not too bad, third day wow pain was bad, did not get out bed for 4 days now in my right side groin area it feels numb, very sore careful how I walk, is this a hernia.

Laparoscopic Repair with Mesh for Femoral Hernia. I was surprised at how much pain I had after plus my stomach, pelvic region and thigh were bruised, swollen, and I ran a low grade fever for one week. It was my understanding that I would be up and about the day after surgery with less pain etc. I spent a week applying cold packs, took tylenol every 4 to 6 hrs to lower fever and than benadryl for a severe itch.

I had a mesh repair done for my ventral hernia (which was quite large and incarcerated). I was not prepared for the pain after surgery or for the length of recovery. My stomach was very swollen for several weeks. I started to do normal housework too early and ended up straining a muscle in my upper abdomen which resulted in an even longer recovery time.

I have had a hernia operation last year. At my 6 week check up I was told I had a groin hernia. I now have a lot of pain on my right hand side and feel sick most of the time. I also have pain under my ribs. I don't know if I should go to the doctor. I feel that there would be nothing they could do.
