Kohones Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I had surgery for a hernia last Friday morning. I've had the hernia for awhile & approx. 3 yrs ago it really started bothering me. I waited & waited hoping it would just go away, why???? (Because a Major in the Army performed hernia surgery on my other side in 1974 & he butchered me & 60 some other guys that were getting out)!!!! Its now Tuesday & I'm still in "pain". Thankfully man has invented percosett 5 because without it I'D BE OVER THE EDGE!!!!! I'm getting better but it's a painfully slow process. Moral of this thread - when you're about to lift a heavy object, lift CORRECTLY so you don't tear your stomach or abdomen wall. Sharing this because I'm hurtin, bored, & high on these narcotics --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Went through that Surgery a few years ago...not pleasant at all. I think the first couple of days after Hernia surgery were worse than after the shoulder surgery I had. Good news is pain will greatly diminish in the next couple of days...you're past the worst part. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 What type of surgery did you have? I had 2 ruptured disks in my L4 and L5 and the surgery that was called for was endoscopic discectomy.... typically the recovery time for pain to go away is 2 weeks... but you have to take it easy for 6 months regardless if you feel good or not.

Mojoe Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 About 5 years ago I had surgery on an abdominal hernia. I know what you are going through. I was on the couch for 4-5 days. I went back to work and had to leave early. On the way home I had to sneeze and did all I could to fight it off, but ended up sneezing. I thought I had ripped all the stichs. It was miserable. Coughing, laughing, and going to the bathroom sucks. Make sure you eat food that will be easy to pass. The pain killers can lock you up. The last thing you want to do is have to push. (I hated putting that out there, but I hope you don't have any issues). Hope you have a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Don't whack off, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohones Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Anthony?????? Whacking off is the LAST thing on my mind!!!!! Thanks to all that have shared sympathy & advice. I was really feeling better yesterday, now I've taken ALL of the percosett they gave me, so (naturally) they down graded me to darvocett, so my body is adjusting to less good drugs & of course the pain has returned???? I know the worst is behind me & everyday I'm getting better - I wonder how the pioneers did it?????? Oh yeah, I'm not permitted to drive "Kohones" for a month? Ya think Rick or Marc would help me with this issue??? Haaaaaaaaaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I've had two hernia surgeries, both in the same place, the worst part is when the hair starts growing back. Best of luck on a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
