I ve had hernia repair surgery (ing) and now 4 or 5 years later i have pain in that spot with a ligament or something sticking out. please, help..?

May be recurrence: Some tomes hernia recur in few, you have recurrence repair broke down ) see your doctor for examination , if it is due symptoms you have will need surgical repair again.

Coul be a recurrence: A muscle strain or recurrent hernia are both possibilities. You would need a physical exam to sort it out. I would suggest a general surgeon with a specific interest in hernia disease.
