hi, i had bilateral open hernia repair with mesh 15 days ago, most of the pain and discomfort are gone, but i started getting that hernia kind of pain that i havent felt since the surgery. i know not to lift anything but i had to move this very heavy chair today so i just pulled it along but got a sharp pain and stopped. im very scared of the hernia recurring and was woundering can something like that cause it to come back or thats really not significant?

would something like that be a factor for the hernia returning, or is that more based on the surgeons experience or person lifting something too heavy.

thanx and good luck to everyone.
