Sports hernia Has anyone here ever had a inguinal hernia repair (sprots hernia)?
If so, how long did it take you to recover and be able to go the the gym and workout?
I got operated on at the end of Aug '08 and I feel like I might me able to start working out again. (no heavy weights)

the pain after surgery isnt much worse than the pain caused by dealing with it. after 2 weeks the pains completely gone. but you still know the mesh is in there.
that feeling and the swelling will be gone after 8-16 weeks. just watch how you bend for a lil while. didnt listen to the doctor about mine. 3 weeks later i had to get a reoperation when i tore it open. not cheap or fun the second time around! avoid getting into a low car or driving one with a manual tranny. that alone lead to me hurting myself.
better get that looked at and repaired soon. if its a incarcerated inguinal hernia it could kill you if it ruptures. i just had one fixed back in february /march. when i got mine i was in disbelief of how easily and quick it happened. i did what i could to ignore it for a few weeks. but the pain became too much to deal with. not much to it. one doctor visit and 5 hours later and it was fixed! the pain after surgery isnt much worse than the pain caused by dealing with it. after 2 weeks the pains completely gone. but you still know the mesh is in there.

It can be from a lot of different things.
I played just about every high school sport, lifted weights during college, I've even trained MMA...I was in great shape when I pulled my hernia.
The doc said that some people just have a thin abdominal wall and it doesn't matter how big your 6-pack is...its a different type of muscle.
As far as the pain, I hurt myself in May, thought it was a strained abdominal muscle. I took a couple of weeks off. I tried doing some cardio and the pain just wouldn't go away. I ended up playing the first game of a basketball tournament at the end of summer and it felt like someone was stabbing me in my lower abdomen. At the end of the game I knew something had to F'd up. I went to doc the next day and he told me I had a direct inguinal hernia and that we should schedule surgery asap.
The pain after the surgery was freaking horrible (i didn't take the pain killers cause they made me sick) so I went natural. The first 5 days or so r very painful but it gets better.
To top it off I had sugery on my right hand (torn lumbrical muscle) mid Oct and I'm just now finishing up my physical therapy.
I went to the gym earlier and I started out on the threadmill then I got on the bike, cooled down and stretched. I feel fine now, but we'll see how I feel tomorrow...lol
No pain no gain, right?
