I lived with one for 6 or 7 years before getting it fixed. Probably not the best course of action. Review your surgery choices with your doctor carefully. I got mine (left inguinal) fixed with mesh and I'm a little over 4 months post-op. Occasionally, it feels like something isn't quite right. It wouldn't surprise me if I blow it out again, although I'm being a lot more careful than I used to be. Bone up on the post-op routine, especially with what to expect. I had some bruising that left me wondering whether something had actually died and started to rot. I had no idea what a bruise could look like, so be better prepared than I was. The pain pills did doodly squat so I didn't use them. It didn't really hurt while sitting but getting into bed and back out was a religious experience, even with help.
Good luck,
JR
