post-op pain?: It is fairly common to encounter swollen lymph nodes in the groin, which could be due to the irritation of the hernia, or more likely from a concurrent urine infection or other type of infection. Taking them out to biopsy them is perfectly reasonable. One day after surgery pain is definitely expected; use cold compresses and take it easy. Pain can last several months after hernia surgery.

Post surgery care: The lymph node will be further evaluated by a pathologist and a report with final diagnosis will be available to you and your surgery team in a few days. The pain is from your surgery site and expected. Okay to take your prescribed medications, ice the area and call in to your surgery team, make your post surgery appointment. Be well.
