Not so far, but wonder why the swollen area that is in same area as mesh. It is sore sometimes, but not bad real bad. Some weight lifting does seem to pull on that area and it's a bit painful so I stop and go to another machine. Never had this issue prior to surgery. The thing is, is this swollen area from the hernia repair they did (that wasn't needed) or from the RP??? Hopefully next months I will get some answers, so far nobody is commenting on MRI results from swollen area, basically say just watch it.
This is what they said in MRI about swollen area:
NODES: No adenopathy is present. A well-circumscribed T2 hyperintense 5.6 x 2.7 x 4.5 cm mass is present in the right external iliac region, most likely a lymphocele or seroma. No nodular or solid enhancement present in this mass.
I am not sure how bad hernia needs to get before surgery, but you sure don't want it to get too bad. The thing is we knew about mine and it never got worse or wouldn't even know I had one if not for cough test and you could just barely feel it for all those years.
