Here this swelling and pain could be related to re herniation . as well if its painful there might be infection too. you need to do ultrasound once again to check the position of previous operation done. Whether it is all well or it is disturb. Here you have not mention which hernia it was or where the stitches are kept so not able to help you much. But will suggest you must visit your doctor once again if possible the same doctor who have done surgery first time.
Ibsuggest do not delay and visit your doctor as early bad possible because of there is infection then it can be dangerous. And you need immeimmediate treatment.
Take care.
