Thanks for posting this-very interesting. I have been reading your posts, since I have some of the same issues. I am at @9 months after open surgery, and still have sporadic pains and a feeling of tightness. Speaking of foreign body sensation, I wonder how common it is to ‘feel’ the patch of mesh in your groin when you lie down at night. I sleep on my back, and when I lie down it seems I clearly feel the patch, under everything else.
