Update:

I’ve received the operative report which didn’t tell me the brand name of the mesh. I’m not sure how to get that.

I took two weeks off from the gym. Went back and did some light lifts. It was like I didn’t take any time off at all. Constant pain.

Took another two weeks off and same thing happened and I barely lifted anything at all.

Its ok when I don’t workout at all, but any time of exercise and i’m in constant pain the entire time.

My right testicle has occasional pain as well randomly. And hurts a lot more than I feel like it should or ever did before surgery.

I still have the numbness too.

Thank you for your responses. I will try to respond to everyone.

JNOMesh, I do high intensity cardio and lift weights. I plan on stopping for two weeks as recommended above. It’s already been 8 days. It hurts less, but I still have pain and think as soon as I’m back working out it’ll go back to constant pain. I’m in the process of requesting my operative report and medical records. It’s very annoying.

Wilfred, I will send you a text soon. I’ve been very busy at work and will continue to be for the next few weeks. But I will try to respond as I can.

LeviProcter, I’ve seen my surgeon. He told me to work through it and the pain will go away. He told me he didn’t know what the bump was, maybe part of the mesh. I will keep your name and Igor’s in mind.

GoodIntentions, the bump is sort of parrallel to my incision but about a half-inch/inch above it. it feels like a thin ink pen that’s about 1.5 inches long under the skin. I don’t know if that makes sense. But it’s not on my left side. It’s where a lot of the pain comes from.

Is the person responding as Dr. Towfigh this doctor that performed the removal on the OP? I’m very interested in learning more about removal but I’m also very confused about this string of posts.
