[hkj]

Crikey... after a massive core workout today at training i got home to find a small lump in my lower abdomen...
i have a hernia and have to have surgery. cant believe it! ive trained hard lots in the past and it was so unexpected!

how long do you reckon before i can get back into kickboxing/muay thai training?

6 to 8 weeks. That is pretty standard. I had an inquinal hernia back in '92. I was down (off my feet) for only 3 days but light duty work for 4 weeks. Surgery wasn't too bad either. Outpatient surgery took about 2.5 hours start to finish.

wah your surgery was long...i was in and out in just over an hour. its been 3 weeks since i had my surgery, and i feel perfectly fine now... going on jogs and doing light training is no problem... ill give it another week or two before weight training or more intensive exercise just to make sure the muscle has had sufficient time to repair. no chance im waiting 8 weeks :)
