So what's 90 years among friends?You had your DS in 2103? Wow!
Seriously, I hope this is your final surgery.
+1000Sorry you had such a hard time. I don't know your whole story, but I hope this is the last surgery for you
I was flattered you came back to spread your wisdom.So what's 90 years among friends?
Thanks sweet heart. I hope your recovery is going well. My ventral repair with mesh was by far the most painful surgery I have ever experienced.
It was probably a week before it wasn't really significant pain but mesh is inside the peritoneal cavity where yours is on the top and you had a big incision where I had lap. My pain was primarily from the screws holding the big hunk of mesh in place.I am 3 weeks out and with component separation with mesh it is a bitch, yes it is very painful still.....how long till you could move, turn and sneeze?
I am not sure exactly how many screws he put in to hold my synthetic mesh. I just know that it was by far the most surgical pain I ever had . I was originally outpatient the way insurance approved it and I had to tell Dr k the pain was too bad to go home and then he was able to get inpatient covered...he always intended it to be inpatient but you know insurance. In any case even with pain meds in hospital when I got up to walk I made it 1.5 steps and said holy shit if I go any farther I won't be able to get back to my bed. Dr k git me on iv dilaudid at that point in addition to the oral he has prescribed for me to go home on. Toridol when added made a huge difference as well from the inflammation side of things.Yes! I had a large incisional ventral hernia, above the navel. No strong pain mess since week 3. Mine goes from sternum down, 12+ inches. I have synthetic mesh under the muscle. Twenty-eight staples in an arc to hold that stuff in place, plus external compression for three months to help it adhere.
I agree, the pain now seems to be from the muscle work.
Rest and heal!
