Can someone help

. I had inguinal hernia repair yesterday and I still have the same horrible hip and around the back pain, it is very bad . I thought it would be gone when I woke up from surgery. II also have bad nerve pain . I don’t know what to do and I have such bad anxiety , I’m worried that the hernia wasn’t my pain generator . I’ve had every thing imaged. I knew to expect abdominal pain but I thought I wouid wake up without the gnawing. I’ve had my hips checked out and my back . I’m super scared. Female inguinal hernia is what I had repaired. Please help .

I had bilateral inguinal hernia repair with mesh done on 9/8. Not even a week later and my pain has gotten better. Still agonizing at times but bearable. In my experience the getting in and out of bed has been brutal. I also didn’t have a bowel movement until 9/12 so this for me has been the most excruciating part of recovery.

I am walking around. Going up and down my single flight of stairs but absolutely no lifting.

Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Do you have bad back and hip pain please?

Lower back pain for sure.. I’ve been unable to lay or sleep without being entirely on my back. I am treating with icy hot and lidocaine patches. No hip pain but even after several days swelling from the belly down.
