My wife had laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery (left side) about a
week and a half ago, and is STILL very sore.  She has bruising from
half way down her inner thigh to above her naval.
Her belly and lower abdomen are still swelled.  She is in a LOT of
pain, for someone who rarely uses anything more than tylenol, it is
unusual for her to need vicodin and/or lortab (codiene).

I understand that everyone is differant, but I am worried for her,
especially since she also has Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Is this normal?

How long does this usually (generally) last?

Thanks for any answers that might put us at ease.
