    I have had 2 cts scans of the abdomen and I am told there is nothing out of the ordinary with them . I had shots done that involved steroids and a numbing agent. The first was somewhat helpful for maybe a week or so. The second provided no relief. I also was on gabapentin twice a day and if anything it may have been worse while on that. I didn’t get any shots directly into the mesh as you suggested, I will talk to my surgeon about that.

    Thank you all for your input

    I have done physical therapy, meds and injections all to no real avail. The tramadol helps at times but I don’t really like using it. It throws me off for the rest of the day. Thanks for the link. I will go through them and see if I can’t find anything.

    It was an open with mesh. Not sure of the mesh that was used :/ I was able to get a second opinion from another surgeon who does hernia surgery and he agreed with the first. Just exploring more options.
