Spigelian hernia by laparoscopy - pain in incision site

I had laparoscopic surgery on my left side and had mesh inserted.  The surgery went well but it's been 10 days and I am having severe pain in one of the incision sites on my right side.  I'm having problems getting out of bed and a chair as well when I bend down the pain is excruciating.  I had taken oxycotin for 5 days then started Tylenol 3 and/or Advil 600 mg but have gone back to the oxy today due to the pain.  I'm just wondering if anyone else encountered this sort of pain after 10 days post surgery?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Pains do come and go for many weeks.  You should however consult your doctor.

    I have just been diagnosed and am awaiting a pre=op appointment but one of the things that the Dr did mention was that it was very painful after the operation but they would give me painkillers and injections if I was sick.  Other than that I am sorry I know little about it.
