Question:
I would like to know the symptoms of a hernia?

I AM HAVING PAIN AND BURNING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY INCISION. I AM 6 WEEKS POST-OP. IS THIS NORMAL? COULD THIS BE A HERNIA?    — WENDI C. (posted on July 15, 2001)

I had those same symtoms along with a fever. My PCP told me to go directly to the hospital. My appendix was on the verge of bursting.....

If you have a bulge when you stand up, it could be a hernia. I am 3 weeks post op and have pain there too. I don't think mine is a hernia but probably a pulled muscle. Hurts like the dickens.
