A member asked:
Is it normal to have post operative pain relating to inguinal hernia repair?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Usually goes away in a few weeks, if it persists for months, may be caused by scar tissue around sensory nerve in the area. Injections of numbing medication can help, rarely reoperation to cut the nerve is needed.

Of course: It would be unusual not to have post-operative pain. Your surgeon should have told you what kind of pain to expect and how long it should last.
