Thank you for contacting HCM.
usually mesh does not have such thing. pain can be from the nerve damage during the surgery and infection.
if you have a surgical site infection which went deep inside needing vac dressing, then the mesh should come out. other wise it is very difficult to treat the infection keeping the foreign body inside.
good luck
