I have a hernia as a result of pregnancy 3 years ago and my doctor has recommended I have it repaired. I am waiting for my consult with the general surgeon. I am not clear on severity, except that it is noticeable and sometimes painful.
I ride 3-5x a week and run about 12-15 miles a week. I am concerned about recovery time… after pregnancy and c-section, it took me ages to recover and get back in the saddle, and I am afraid of the same thing happening.
I’m thinking maybe I should do it in winter when I don’t really want to ride and run anyway?!
Help?
