Q: Hernia Site Burning

Case: inguinal hernia repair july 2004, 4-6 week recovery period. Pain free for 1 year ( july 2005 ) until after pulling on a heavy door felt the same burning pain in the same area as the 2004 surgery. Followed up with two different surgons who have both rulled out a hernia after both phys. Exam and ultrasound. The pain has gotten more intense over the past couple of months and aches and burns after standing or minor activety.

Any ideas? Anybody know or had any pain managment for neuromas and or messomas.

I feel like I pulled or moved something in the mesh and am looking for someone who might have experienced this sort of pain.

Hi and Welcome

What type of mesh do you have?

Have you seen the sticky on this thread

Here's the link.

What is making your pain worse?
Did you wake up from surgery in terrible pain?
How long ago was your repair?

No I didnt lose a nut. Its a joke name I have been ising for some time and just happens to be related.

I got an appointment today to see the doc. He said there is a 90% chance I have a reoccurance. So ill have to get this taken care of. Because Mesh was used orignally, i will have to stick to that method in this instance.
I dont what kind of mesh was used as I am a novice. Ill have to learn more.

Good Luck today.
You can ask your surgeon what type of mesh was used or get copies of your operative reports from the hospital specifically asking for this information.

If you have any questions feel free to ask me.
