I had a mesh repair for 3 hernias. Two parastomal and an umbilical. Sometimes when I bend down, say to wash my feet in the shower for instance, it feels like my intestines move and it hurts. It's not everytime I bend only on occasions. I have to stand up straight for a few minutes to let them get back in place. This has happened several times.
My question is does this happen to anyone else? I asked my surgeon about it last time I saw him but he did not seem concerned.
You've used "duh" several times lately or had a condescending air. That's not typical. A little more empathy.

See the smilie face at the end of my reply, means I was joking, duh. I hope you send the same reply to Hibiscus cause she even yelled it at me with writing it in capitals….DUH. However, even though her DUH was more meaningful than my duh, I still know her DUH was more like a jokingly DUH than my little old duh. Sometimes a little humor goes a long ways and can make a person crack a smile once in awhile and not be so uptight and stiff. Sorry that you can’t see my humor, but like I told you before when you sent me a PM about being the same thing, I’ll still sleep just fine at night. Hope you can relax, enjoy life , and try to smile once in awhile, it’s much better than being overly stiff. Have a good day. ☀️
Ok back to the question..... Anyone else who had hernia repair that has experienced this ?
