I am having burning issues as well 6 weeks post op inguinal hernia repair.similar to preop symptoms. Just curious about the location of your symptoms. Mine are burning in the scrotum and penis. When I wake up in the morning burning is almost gone. 2 weeks ago I had a ct scan at the emergency hospital. Drs did not see a recurrence… thanks

Thank you guys for your advice and ideas. Just wanted to give an update on how things are going. Seems like the nerve pain is getting a little better not much though. After reading a lot of horror stories about mesh hernia complications, I began to worry and so I went to the ER last night. They performed a bunch of tests (many probably useless) including CT scans with contrast. They diagnosed a seroma. I can actually see the “puffiness” which seems to extend from where the hernia was down to the scrotum. When i press on the seroma – especially next to the scrotum it is pretty tender and sore. Also, when I walk I can feel some pressure and soreness from the seroma. Just wondering if this pressure is contributing to some of the nerve pain that I am having. After researching online, from what I gather, the pain could be coming from the pudendal nerves? The pain seems to be at the bottom of scrotum and penis shaft and tip – Could the seroma be inflaming some of these nerves or did the hernia repair not address this problem? I had similar symptoms before surgery. I am about 3 1/2 weeks post op. Thank you for any help and ideas, I really appreciate it
