What does a hernia feel like?
I'm sure I'm just being paranoid, but I'm wondering if it's even possible to get a hernia due to laparoscopic surgery, and if so, what it feels like.
Around the incision on my right side, it's much more tender than the navel incision or left side incision. The funny thing is, it was my left ovary that was removed, so they couldn't have done too much on that right side. I haven't strained or lifted anything (although maybe making the bed was too much?), so I don't know why it would hurt.
It's not unbearable pain at all, and it doesn't seem swollen significantly more than the rest of my belly. Any advice or ideas?

Re: What does a hernia feel like?
I also had an LAVH with more pain on one side than the other. I mentioned it to my doctor and she said that one side usually is more sore due to the manipulation of the instruments. I would think it's normal, as it sounds so similar to what I experienced, but if you're concerned, call your doc for a little reassurance!
