Hi Everyone, Just hoping can I find some help as my surgeon tosses pain meds at me and I'm frankly a bit frustrated. I have severe pain with sitting to type at the computer; stabbing; knifelike to the point where i have to stand to get relief. I have an appt with another surgeon in the practice but am really quite down as I asked how soon I could retrun to work and I was told 2 weeks! Is this common with a hernia repair?? If there is anyone out there who can tell me when this will abate I would so appreciate it:frown:

Hi, I thought i was going crazy as my surgery was 2/27/09 and here is is March 20th and I have an appt for the exact same reason today. I don't have problems swallowing but the pain is similar to a hot knife. How long before your pain resolved as I need to get back to work? Could youlet me know if there was specific testing done? Just curious and hope you are doing great. Karen
