On 7/2/07 i had an inguinal and femoral
hernia repair not done laparoscopically
they opened me up. ITs been a little over
2 weeks. Had sex the day before yesterday
and since then i have felt an
uncomfortable feeling kind of like a
pinching in my upper thigh on the inside
and the area where the incision is has
felt random twinges of pain where the scar
tissue is. When i walk i feel it. Im
worried that i may have undone what they
fixed. I have read online though that
after surgury you will feel random pains
because the muscles and nerves they cut
thru are reconnecting and recovering. I
didnt begin to really feel this until
after sex though. Im guessing its because
since the surgury i did limited moveement
and the muscles in that area havent been
used and are just stressed from suddenly
being moved. Has anyone else felt anything
like this... eekkk im nervous and really
hope i did not just undo that surgury.

In the case of both my open hernia
surgeries I was not meant to do any
exercise for 6 weeks after the op, that
includes sex.
Even though that was about 8 years ago I
would still think this would apply with
these kind of surgeries. Did the doctors
not inform you of that?
The pain you describe sounds like femoral
hernia pain to me, if it doesn't go away
in the next few days you should go and see
your doctor to get it checked.
