Ive been told that there is nothing they could do for me as the mesh becomes part of your skin and its major surgery to get it out ,so all they offered me was nerve blockers to stop the pain . If I would have known this could happen I would have went a different route. Got hernias all over my stomach and over my liver. Its a horror show!!!!!!!

Hi @bosco17
Are you saying that you now have new hernias on your stomach in addition to the mesh repair 8 or 9 years ago? Are these new hernias caused by a new surgery or something else? Is it possible that the pain is not coming from the mesh repair and is actually a new hernia causing pain?
