Sorry that: you have this rare but frustrating symptom(s) followng hernia repair but further surgery or aggressive treatment is usually not successful in relieving your pain. TIME OFTEN results in gradual diminishing discomfort and the "masking" by Gabapentin in the MEANTIME is an excellent choice! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
