Reply To: Mesh removal

Hi

Did you have pain before the mesh was used to repair your hernia? you will need a thorough assessment with nerve mapping, magnetic scans and also an XR – do you know if tacks were used to fixated the mesh and is your pain more of a discomfort or sharp irritation when you touch the sensitive area (latter related to nerve pain, former maybe mesh related?) You must be aware that mesh removal may not make the pain better?
