Looks like my hernia op' hasn't worked. Anyone else had an op' that went wrong?

[Dayvo]

Can't offer an anecdote or any advice, Accy lad, but I wish you all the very best for a quick return to full health, comfort and peace of mind.

Now that's something i definitely would not have done to me! I was squeamish about the hernia,but as i said to the doctor examining me yesterday. They can cut me open anywhere,but no way will they cut my ball bag open! Even when she used the word testicle i found myself feeling faint.

They'll see you're out for that one. I came too on the ward. But having you faint first might cut the cost!

95, I tried leaving the operating table.

You got medical advice from the British High Commission? In which country? I'd like to try that.

Sorry, I was in a rush British Hernia Clinic, they pioneered the mesh method in this country and mine was done there about 20+ years ago. I certainly had bruising and soreness after, but not enough to worry me.

All the best Accy..sounda like a frigging nightmare

 

[Oldbloke]

Good luck Accy,hope you're feeling better soon

Assuming you were not given any pain relief on discharge from the hospital, if you are in pain and paracetamol isn't working, can you get something stronger from you doctor. Either through a telephone appointment as you have already been seen, or an emergency appointment. Just to tide you over until Thursday.

@Accy cyclist i really hope that you mend well and quickly.

The second op was nasty. Big incision, nut out, plumbing cut away, then stitched back in. Very uncomfy for a year.

Good luck Accy.

I had an accident and op in 2011, my right bicep is still smaller than my left, and not in the right place either, I know nobody notices, but I do. It was the first time I troubled the NHS in 35 years, blood will have to be pouring out of me before I do so again.

* Squeamish * TMI

Yup. What warning could you have got that this thread might not be for the squeamish from the subject "...my hernia op [..] went wrong"?

GWS @Accy cyclist

 

[screenman]

One of the many things you can say about Accy is that he is certainly has battled life, get better soon, chin up and all that.
