I've had 3 hernia surgeries last one about a year ago last week i started having sharp pains in my lower left abdomen again any ideas what it could be?

Possible recurrence: one of the possibility is recurrence , and several other causes for ' sharp pains left abdomen ' See your doctor what is causing your pain .
