    Has anybody eve had a hernia before?

    Got told by the doctor I have one in the groin/lower stomach area

    It's certainly pretty sore, but trying to judge recovery time for the more than likely upcoming operation

    You need to discuss it with the surgeon but as a ballpark expect to be off the bike for 12 weeks afterwards.

    If you push it too soon after there quite a risk of the hernia recurring so whatever they advise you stick to it !

    As mentioned by Rob, you really need specialist advice. He's given you a fair idea of the sort of time you may be off the bike. Unfortunately I can't leave this thread open, as we are not allowed to discuss such medical matters.
