Dr Towfigh, Have you seen an umbilical hernia develop and become symptomatic so quickly after inguinal hernia repairs (ie in 1-2 months) ?
Would you recommend imaging at this point ? I feel like the belly button area is a bit too high for pains related to the mesh for an inguinal hernia repair. I have found very little documentation of nerve damage or pain in this area from an inguinal hernia repair.

I do not feel a bulge that I can appreciate in the area , the surgeon did not either . Although I did not have a palpable bulge with my inguinal hernia either. Would it be worth asking for imaging like an ultrasound ?
Does the mesh typically go that far superior on an inguinal hernia repair to cause nerve pain in that area ?
The doctor did recommend a nerve block if it did not get better …

It was a TAPP, my doc said the pain was a little high from where the sutures and mesh are. The incisions are there above the belly button medial and lateral. This is my second repair but on the other side, I did not have these issues then. I guess I am looking for reassurance that is there still hope things can improve ? What type of doc would you referral be recommended for ?
