Lingering problems after possible scar tissue break
I am assuming you had a laparoscopic repair. I see this occasionally. I think what is happening is that the mesh is less complaint than the abdominal wall tissue and you can get some tearing or stretching at the interface between the mesh and the fascia. Usually the pain is self-limited, but if a nerve is involved it may persist. An injection of local anesthetic will tell you if it will respond to a nerve ablation.
