It started with a hernia and kept getting bigger and way more painful finally 8 months later I had mesh installed inside my whole scar 8”x10” piece and it still hurts 4 months later and hurt way more than my transplant , I’m not supposed to lift anything over 10 lbs basically a gallon of milk but my whole scar was really thin skin and doesn’t get thicker, I was used to lifting 100 lbs all the time

@pgruetz, what is the long-term plan for the hernia? Will you have to have surgery? Can physical therapy help?
