I had a hernia repaired in April, 2010 (laproscopically, with mesh, I believe). Before the surgery, it was very, very painful. I ve experienced no problems until a couple weeks ago when I began feeling it again! I thought the surgery would take care of the problem, a one and done deal. This time, the pain is minimal, but I m constantly aware of it, although it s better in the morning, and some days are better than others. So what s going on? I do have an appointment this week with my health care provider.
