How Can Lower Leg And Groin Pain After Hernia Surgery Be Treated?

I m 71 male - 6 3 230 lb former marine - always been in good health - never surgery - recently had bi-lateral hernia surgery 5 weeks ago - can walk stairs easier but still have sporadic pain in lower legs and groin area. Is this considered normal slow recovery due age? else?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
are you diabetic? did your surgical wound heal completely? if you are diabetic then it may be a cause of slow recovery. otherwise please take rest and take food enriched with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) which helps you in early healing.
