Brief Answer:
Dislocated mesh.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for choosing "Ask a Doctor" service for your query.
Have seen your details.
Very likely this long lasting pain is related to the mesh used at time of surgery. I would suggest you to go for a CT scan as ultrasound is very basic test and may not see mesh. History of pain after intense coughing again suggest the same.
