I experienced very little pain on days one and two, didn't even take any pain pills. But today has been awful. I had a HH repair at the same time. Does the HH repair cause pain to show up later? Has anyone else's pain been like this? It's directly in the middle of my chest and is exacerbated by deep breathing and by putting my hands over my head. Just worried...

Every post I've read says the 3rd day was the worst. It was the worst day for me too and I didn't have any other procedure done. It will get better. Good luck!

I hope you few better soon
