A little advice. Take it easy for longer than you think you need to. Do your pain meds. Use metamucil to keep the drains running on time and supplement that with a stool softener as required.
Been through that rodeo a couple of times and had an open surgery and the mesh installed. I think there are better ways to look after this. Mine are OK most of the time but painful during some activity and achy at other times.
On the positive side, it doesn't bulge and hurt all the time and I can still play hockey!

Same with me and same as Shaun AFA the open side. I can still feel a lump where the mesh is and wish it wasn't there. ^^^^^ All good advice. I don't know about full blown hockey at 6 weeks.
