Nearly 3 months after ablation. Thought would be all good by now. Groin has been giving me problems since procedure. Wondered why recovery and swelling was taking so long. Well turns out I have a hernia and nothing to do with ablation. More surgery awaits .. yay :(!
On a positive note in NSR most of the time.

It is odd how we often get non related complications post procedures. Six months after my prostatectomy I was diagnosed with a hernia and thought that was to do with my operation. Apparently not! Hernia is a doddle these days. Glad the NSR continues.
Interesting because I too got a hernia four months after having my last ablation then it took six months to get round to having the operation so this didn’t help recovery from the ablation.
All is well now but you have to once again take it easy after the operation.
Maybe there is a connection between feeding catheters up through your groin and a weakening of the muscles in that general area.
Doubt it Pete as the catheter runs through a vein and is no where near the stomach wall muscle. We do all automatically blame our AF for everything don't we?
