Hernia operation

Posted By leatherqy58

"Hernia operation"

About: Bunbury Hospital / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

I had I double hernia operation recently. Two days after the operation I had extensive pain on my left side, I went to emergency at the bunbury hospital, was given pain relief, those did not help to relieve the pain , the only relief I got was when I lay down. I found that the staff were seemingly more interested in giving me pain relief than trying to find out the cause of my extreme pain. To me that would be a priority to find what has caused this  pain .
