Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
After hydrocele surgery,the scrotum's elevated with a supporter or bandage.
Maintain this for about two to three weeks,to prevent swelling there.
Avoid lifting heavy weights for this month and strenuous work.
Driving a car shouldn't be a problem.
Continue the pain killers for a week.
If you've any doubts,send it as a direct question to me.
