Chronic Pain 2 years later

My rx would to be to go see a surgeon who specializes in removing mesh. I'm not saying you should have your mesh removed that is a last resort. But someone who does remove mesh will be able to take your symptoms and plot out a best course of action. If you go back to your original surgeon he or she will most likely say all is well. They will first look for a recurrence and if there isn't one they will say all looks well. Not sure how long you have had it in for but if under a year they will say five it time. If time doesn't work it will be off to pain management and drugs and or nerve blocks. This will be very frustrating for you. The pain you are feeling (if there isn't a recurrence ) is coming form the mesh. It can be the mesh itself (folding, migrating, fibrosis) or it can be related to the mesh i.e. Nerves getting fought up in the mesh, or from the staples or tacks or sutures they used to affix the mesh to your body.

There is a online forum herniatalk that has a lot of useful info.

A lot will depend on when you had the surgery, what type of mesh was used, was the surgery open or lapro and what your pain symptoms and pain levels are.

I've heard people on this forum speak of a Ali sheen in the U.K who is a expert and if it comes down to it can remove mesh if that's what needs to be done. It is very important to also seek out surgeons who specialize in the type of surgery you had-open Vs lapro.

Lastly get your operative report-itbeull contain the type of mesh and procedure and other details of your surgery.

I had to have my mesh removed after 6 years Bc it had folded into a ball and caused me many pain issues for years.  I am however in the US.

General bottom pain?  Internal?  I’ve had similar pain 15 months later — can’t prove it’s due to the surgery. Very frustrating.  The surgeon stopped talking to me long ago — trying Physical therapy and anything else that might help.
