NORMAL IN GENERAL: USUALLY IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE SOME LONG TERM DISCOMFORT IN THE AREA OF HERNIA REPAIR .I AM ASSUMING THEY USED A SCREEN IN YOUR HERNIA REPAIR. BECAUSE THAT IS THE NORM. PERSISTENT PAIN COULD MEAN YOUR ARE STRETCHING YOUR REPAIR , SO YOU MIGHT NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL OF HOW ARE YOU USING THESE MUSCLE, MIGHT HELP TO HAVE IT CHECKED BY A SURGEON TO MAKE SURE THE REPAIR STILL SOLID AND NO OTHER HERNIA
