So, I’m a week after an inguinal hernia repair with mesh. They opened me up with a baseball bat according to the bruising. I still have a lot of swelling around the area, is this normal?

What did the md say
You were seeing him today?
Looks pretty good for a week post op. You could ice it to help with swelling. Trust me in the operating room, doctors are not being super gentle, they want to get in and out. Make sure to stay hydrated, take walks around the house as tolerated. As long as you don’t develop a fever over 100, you should be good..feel better
I`m not native speaker , so mesh is like some kind of net right, which replace broken tissue?
Who made throught inguinal hernia changes forever) Some years past from op I still afraid of lifting heavy objects
