    [USER=”1660″]idoncov[/USER] Glad to know that I’m not the only one and I am happy to hear that you had it resolved.

    For sure it happens after I get out of bed or stand up after sitting for a while, then I just kinda stretch it out a bit and it seems to go away but comes back here and there and it’s very annoying and discomforting. It’s especially worse after I have a meal.

    I’m hoping it’s just my body healing still. I’m still kind of swollen from the surgery too so could just be healing.

    Did you have the mesh removed because of that reason alone or was there other complications tied along with the tugging sensation?

  • Hello Dr. Brown, have you noticed any cases or studies about major nerves being entrapped as far as umbilical hernia mesh?

    Thank you for the reply and the information Dr. Towfigh, does bring a lot of worry down knowing a lot of surgeons use the mesh. I guess I forgot to note that most sites that were saying the mesh itself caused infection were the law sites, they all seemed pretty identical as well…

    I guess the reaction of those who were affected just had a bad reaction to mesh in general. Time will tell but thankfully all is well right now.

    Yeah I guess you’re right, if you don’t mind, when I get my surgery report I’ll message you about it and hopefully you can give me some insight on the type used.

    I really do feel for people who suffer and who have suffered from hernias in the groin area. It does seem very complex.

    Also forgot to add, I had been having problems with it for a little over a year. I noticed it started to decreased in size right before the surgery, nothing drastic, but it for sure started to get more sensitive and tender. Also, my job requires a lot of lifting so I didn’t wanna run the risk of making it even larger in the future. I am pretty active as well.

    Thanks for the reply Good intentions.

    I mean it felt small, but man it was starting to cause discomfort. Even a few nights before surgery, I got this throbbing pain at the site and when I would rub my finger over the lump it was so painful.

    I’m getting my surgical report this week so hopefully it’ll give me some information on the mesh that was used.

    Would it be dangerous to get the mesh removed if there is no problems? In other words, do you think having another surgery to remove it will actually cause complications?
