To Remove or Not to Remove?
Can Hernia mesh cause Peripheral neuropathy?? And if so. Can mesh removal cure it?? I was told this was the cure. After mesh removal will the scar tissue dissolve and free the nerves.I find this hard to believe.We are looking for the correct answers.

To Remove or Not to Remove?
Dear chuckles The mesh removal made me much worse. The celebrex helped me a little.After the mesh was removed the pain was very bad.I had to walk on crutches. For a year and a half I was mostly in bed.The surgeon told me my femoral nerve was tweaked from surgery.I got zero benefit from removal.20 months latter I am back to where I was before the removal.I think we miss understood each other.The nsaids were the most effective in helping me over the 18 years I have been in pain.Before and after the mesh removal.

Mesh removal after hernia repair
Hello .My question is about scar tissue. Does mesh create scar tissue? Can nerves be entrapped ? If mesh is removed what happens? Does more scar tissue form? Or does the scar tissue reseed or soften? I have been told different things. I was even told it will dissolve. That one is hard to believe.But could you tell me more on this ? Thank you for the value of this site.

Mesh removal after hernia repair
Hello My question is. After mesh removal.That was in for 15 years.How long does it take for the inflammation response from the mesh to go away? I had pain very soon after the bikini mesh was installed.I had it removed 20 months ago.With little improvement in pain.Also the most effective meds were nsaids (.Celebrex ) Always seemed to help the most.But just a little bit. I still use it.And pain management.Also can the inflammation from mesh effect the hip joints and lower back(lumbar) I have suffered since 1998 with chronic hip butt and leg pain.I was told it was due to mesh??????Removal did not help.Was it in to long? Thank you for this site.I don’t want others to suffer the way I have.

To Remove or Not to Remove?
I was sold on mesh removal! I was told all my pain was due to mesh.And zero chance of making me worse. It made me many times worse off.I also wish I never had it removed.The whole thing was a fiasco.For over a year I was flat on my back.Don’t get sucked into this.This should be the last possible thing to do.After all other options have run out.And then it is still risky.The doctors on this site know what they are talking about.Don’t let someone fill you with false hopes and dreams.People are desperate to be pain free.So it’s easy to get them to do mesh removal. Get the correct exams and testing.and opinions.Do not jump into mesh removal.
