    Chronic pain post abdominal hernia repair.

    Dr. Towfigh, thank you for your response. In answer to your question, I had seen a urologist, gynecologist, and internal physical therapist who all cleared me in their respective areas. My pain radiates out from my belly button and through to my lower back. I was tender to the touch above the area the mesh was installed. I haven’t tried pressing on the area to see if its still tender since my recent surgery. Dr. Zelko, who removed the mesh, summed it up by saying that since I didn’t have pain before the mesh was installed and then pain after it was installed, that that pretty much indicated the cause. He removed the mesh laproscopically and stitched my hernias shut.
