Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, it was a bit of a long shot perhaps.

As for my abdominal wall, the mesh seems to have solved any issues and there are no more bulges.
And most of my pain is in my right leg, which went away 2 weeks after my L4/L5 surgery.
Looking at some scientific research that was done, hernias can actually return within days of surgery. That sort of feels like a relief, knowing I’m not the only one with this issue. Best shot is to go for another surgery I think. But will speak to the neurologist on Wednesday, see what he says.

quote Good intentions:

Do you know if a preventive neurectomy was done at the same time as the mesh placement? It’s not recommended, generally, but, apparently, quite a few surgeons do it anyway. Maybe to delay the onset of pain. Somebody recently posted about muscle imbalance and problems after neurectomy.

As far as I know, this wasn’t done.
But I have send an email today to the surgeon responsible for the mesh placement to get a surgery report. Perhaps that can tell me more…
