I had right inguinal mesh surgery four weeks ago. A few days ago, I tried to get myself up off the floor and twisted my body weird. I felt a pop, then later intense pain. No swelling, but now it feels like I never even had surgery. The mesh area no longer feels tight, like it did for 4 weeks straight. Plus some pain when passively lifting my leg and it used to feel like cardboard was in my inguinal area. Now it just feels like it did before surgery. Have I pulled the tacks and ripped the mesh? Or perhaps I just jarred scar tissue. please advice my surgeon is out for next 2 1/2 weeks.

      Yes it resolved. It was scar tissue. I am still taking it easy to heal. I sometimes tweak the scar tissue and that heals within a day or 2. I won't even lie on my side yet or bend over.. You are brave for running!
