When I got a hernia a couple years ago I couldn’t for 3 months due to pain before the surgery‡ and then 2 months after the surgery (doc said 2 weeks but there was still too much pain in the area)
That was hard
‡ Had to wait 3 months because my insurance was insisting it was an “optional” surgery because it didn’t have my guts pinched so they were not wanting to cover it. My doc was insistent that it wasn’t optional due to the level of pain I was in. In the end the doc won and it was covered.
I feel you friend
