Hi. I read your response. I had my inquinal surgery 5 weeks ago and am more miserable now than I was before the surgery. I was just wondering if your pain started right away. I have severe numbness to myleft pubic area into my inner thigh. It has a burning sensation most all the time . i can not get comfortable in no position. I am still taking lortabs and using hot and cold. I was told by my physician to stay off my feet last week to see if some of the dicomfort would resolve. No better!!. I had the mesh put in through the conventional surgery. I had no idea this would result. i too am a super active person. i run and lift weights. This is insane. If I would have known this I would have lived with the other pain and risked an obstruction!
