Hi all, I have a bilateral hernia repair in the 19th Dec 2019, after a couple of weeks it was still very painful in the groin region, the surgeon assured me the surgery had worked and it was just nerve pain. Now six weeks post op he has injected steriods into the right side of the groin to help the healing process, he said it would really hurt for 5 days then start to ease and be almost pain free after 12 days. Well its day 6 now and its still quite painful. Has anyone else had this injection and what were your results?

    Sounds like he messed up and is giving you the runaround. Go see an independent hernia surgeon for a second opinion. I had mesh put in and had to have it removed 3 months later.
