I had inguinal hernia surgery last year now i have off and on pain on left side. dr says no hernia & there is nothing visible. what could it be?

Probably scar: and possibly entrapped nerve. Ask your surgeon if a cortisone injection might help. If pain becomes unbearable, sometimes a re-operation becomes necessary, but this is very rare.
