I had an inguinal hernia repaired along with a lipoma removed from around my spermatic cord about 18 months ago. I am 25 now and it seemed like a long recovery, I didn't start feeling comfortable lifting much of anything until 10 or so months after surgery. It seemed that I was about recovered, then I did something while doing some serious digging about 7 months ago. My old symptoms came back which was the sensation that my spermatic cord was being pinched if I lifted too much of anything...

Anyway, I have gotten better, but I still don't feel comfortable lifting anything too heavy, and the incision is still tender.

Can anyone add anything about recovering from a lipoma around the spermatic cord? I was told it would take a while to recover, but this seems kind of extensive.
