Help! I'm getting scared.

I noticed a lump above my belly button and saw my doctor who told me I have a hernia and would have to have surgery. Ok that's fine but my concern is my surgery is two weeks away and I have been having sharp pains in my left leg that keeps waking me out of my sleep at night which has just started. I don't want anything more serious to happen. Should I call my doctor? Has anyone experienced this? Please help!!

What happen?

[Demi2 2]

My surgery is tomorrow at 11:00. I still have a lot of pain but my doctor told me if it's not constant I should be okay until surgery. I'm so happy it's almost over.

how r you doing pls update

[Demi2 2]

Hi Chris54 I had to spend a night in the hospital after the surgery. My blood pressure dropped and I wasn't able to hold down solid food. I did have the mesh put in and my doc assured me that I shouldn't have any problems with it. I'm so glad to be home now. Thank you so much.

So did u hve a clot?

[Demi2 2]

I didn't have a clot but the doc said the pain in my leg was related to the hernia....weird but I haven't felt the leg pain since the surgery.

Yes I would call. If there is one piece of advice I could give you when I consider this post is that you should keep your doctor fully in the loop.
