I'm going to have inguinal hernia surgery in a few days and would like some idea of experiences others have had getting back to running. It will be an out-patient, local anesthesia, one side only operation. It will not be lapriscopic surgery. The surgeon thinks I'll be back running lightly in about three weeks. What say you?

That's about the schedule my last herniotomist had me on--it was the third try to seal up the same hole, and this latest doc installed some netting to hold it together. He told me to begin walking as soon as I could bear it (actually very little pain), and cleared me to do easy running in about two weeks or so. -- Don [email hidden]
