Hi Debbie. Thanks for your query. Read and understood your problem. On felling the muscles of the abdomen also go into sprain and spasm, stretching over the fibrous tissues around the hernia repair and the mesh. It is likely to get healed well provided you take proper treatment. The right hand and left knee will also heal well as there is no fracture on them. I would suggest you the following: Strict bed rest- this is the most sure shot way for early recovery. A course of an anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen in proper full dosages as per your body weight and after full stomach. You will be fine soon.
