    Should I have a hernia re-done?

    The first step is to have someone who knows what they are doing do a diagnostic block with local anesthetic and see if that relieves your symptoms. If that is successful, then a permanent ablation should work. Other than failure and numbness, there shouldn’t be any issues. As far as the other side goes, a laparoscopic repair should have a lower incidence of acute pain, but it is more important to get the operation that your surgeon is most comfortable with.
