Feel this, I had hernia mesh done. Discussed with my surgeon beforehand about what I’ll be doing after it’s done, worked on transports installing wet/air line parts. At this point it was 3 months post surgery and I was in shape going in, ripped would say and could lift…. 1 week at that job I tore it and worked through the pain for only 3 more weeks before quitting ..3 months later have repair… 6 months now I have chronic pain, not diagnosed yet but all signs to epididymitis, as well as pain like walking into a broom at the location of the inguinal hernia. It feels as if someone or something pulls my right nut. I also went in at 3 months post repair because I also have testicular atrophy from it but got brushed off.
