Lower stomach pain after inguina hernia op ?

Unfortunately, the scar tissue that forms after hernia repair is not soft and flexible like normal tissues. Therefore, vigorous physical activities can strain scar tissue (as well as any nerves or other sensitive tissues that the scar has grown into).

Alternating hot and cold packs may help. Also, your doctor might consider prescribing an anti-inflammatory medication for you. If these interventions don't help, then consider a consultation with a physical therapist for stretching and strengthening exercises, and deep heat applications.

Thanks Dr Wascher, I played tennis again yesterday and i felt great whilst playing but again today i notice a stiffness and an occasional sharp pain around the tissue, my worry is that this is not normal but if the consensus is that it is indeed normal then i wont worry as much.

Doc, I have also noticed that my stomach is a bit more bloated than usual but i dont know how long its been like that, i had a few days last week when i think i had diarrhea, but other than that my diet hasnt changed and i dont feel full, but my stomach does look bloated?
