hi I am currently 2 weeks post laroscopic inguinal hernia repair with mesh it was done using the keyhole method and mesh was used I'm just wondering how long it take for the pain to subside, both at the site of the hernia and the discomfort across the lower abdomen which I am guessing is caused by the use of the tools any advice is welcome and thanks in advance
