I have an inguinal hernia on the right side, having the operation on 18 December 2007.
But recently I have felt a slight pain on the left side, but I cannot detect a hernia there. I did the cough test and did not feel any lump or bulge, there is no sign of a hernia there, and the pain comes and goes.
I do sometimes feel a bit sore or a slight pain where the hernia is. I am guessing that this is caused by the pressure of the hernia on nerves.
But could the hernia pull on nerves to create pain on the opposite side?
Or could this be another hernia developing?
