Pain after some exercises (post-op 4 months)
I had RIH repaired at Shouldice in January 2025. Around the 3 month mark I started to resume swimming - to get ready for my return to scuba diving. I'm a bit frustrated in the past month that after doing laps and/or flutterboard I have some pains at the surgical site. So then I try to take it easy for a few days till the ache/pain goes away, then swim again and same thing happens. Do I just need to rest longer? Am I negatively affecting the repair by (apparently) stressing it by swimming?
I am going on a scuba trip around the 5.5 month mark (July 2025) where I'll be doing multiple dives a day... so I'm a little concerned that I'll be sore after just one dive. I was initially concerned about lifting the scuba tanks and such, but swimming is kind more important.
How does one build core strength when doing so results in pain? :(
