Pain: A little sketchy on the details? What kind of tumor did you have? Was it also a nerve sheath tumor? If do, you two may have a hereditary condition like neurofibromatosis. If you had a totally different tumor, it is hard to say without more details. You mention a hernia? Did that occur at the site of surgery? Or unrelated? Regardless, your slow recovery warrants another visit to your doctor.

Re: hernia: Not sure what type if hernia you are referring to, but if it is causing problems you may need it repaired. Be sure to get an opinion firm a surgeon with experience in both open and laparoscopic surgery so you can weigh your options. Hope you feel better soon. Hang in there.

Need more info: Nerve sheath tumors tend to run in families, and if your tumor that you say disappeared was one of these, it is possible that it is still the cause of your pain, or related to it. You have a right to pain control and you'd do well to get with a pain-management specialist who is non-ideological and can examine the situation objectively. Sorry this is happening.
