Hi
From what I have read I have the same post operation hernia pain as many others. My main concern is that I have pain on the opposite side of the repair - the pain is very similiar to the symptoms of a hernia but no bulge and significantly less pain when coughing.
I am consulting the doctor about it in the next few days. Some potential causes that occur to me.

1. Bi-lateral hernia that just took some time to express itself.

2. We are consciously busy compensating ( babying) the repaired side and pull something on the good side. Similiar to spraining your left ankle but continuing to walk/work and putting way too much stress on your right knee as a result of overcompensation and an awkward gait. Ultimately resulting in a sore right knee for a few weeks. I say this from personal experience.

For those knowledgeable of this and for the people that have previously posted please respond back and tell me what the results were. If not a bi-lateral hernia how long did the pain in the opposite side last for??
