Chronic Pain After Inguinal Hernia Repair (Boston)

Mesh is not easily seen by an imaging scan, if you can even see it at all. Judging by your symptoms it is very likely the mesh is your problem. You also likely have some nerve involvement among other issues. I suspect the mesh implant was not done correctly in the first place and if the mesh has folded or balled up then you will have to have it removed. Unfortunately mesh also shrinks and a lot of times new pains arrive later then one might suspect. You need to see a mesh removal specialist. The good news is Dr Towfigh and Dr Chen are two of the best available. Mesh removal can have negative results as well but it may be the lesser of two evils. Good Luck
