Had richtors hernia repair a year ago. now scar is infected and lots of burning and pain inside. should i go to er.

One year: post-operatively and I assume with no issues and with sudden burning and pain is usually not as a result of the repair. I agree you should see either your doctor or the surgeon soon, or if symptoms are bad enough by all means go to the ED.
