Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
You had laproscopic hernia operation on 6-4-2013. Since few days, you had pain where there is mesh. Dr said it is neurological.
As the doctor said must be correct, because whole the mass of the herniation, pushed back will show pressure on the mesh and incission.
There are some recommendations to minimise the pain. Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods, so that the intestines are not distended.
Don't have a heavy meal at a time.See that there is no constipation.
Try to sleep on the back,or on the other side, but not on the belly,or on the operated side to avoid pressure.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
