Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
The pain after hernia mesh repair done months ago can be due to the following reasons:
Nerve entrapment in the scar that follows after any surgery.
Rarely can be due to the mesh being in touch with the mesh, but then the pain will be present since you come out of anesthesia and not develop later on.

I hope this answers your query, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
