Hi I got a hernia back in August had mesh surgery on November 13 the doctor said my hernia was 5mm smaller than a dime and I wanna do bodybuilding my question is because my hernia was so small and because i got mesh does that make the chance of me reinjuring it even less if I do bodybuilding training also it's been over 2 months since my hernia sugery I'm still getting sharp pains not really where the umbilical hernia was but on the sides of my lower abdominals I can't workout right now I got a ct scan I haven't reinjured it so do you think I just need more time in order to be pain free does it take longer to be pain free sometimes. do you think by March or April that will be enough time for it to be pain free thank you guys I really need answers if anyone can help answer my questions please
