What Causes Discomfort In My Groin After A Hernia Repair Surgery?

I recently had a surgery to repair a hernia. A little under a year ago. And recently I got sick I assume it was the flu, My body ached from head to toe. But I could really feel the most discomfort in my calves, right bicep and in my groin. All other symptoms have subsided for the most part but I still feel discomfort in my groin. And now I feel the groin pain in my testicles as well. Is this normal? What might this be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

Noted the history of pain in the groin, biceps and calf after flu.
Also noted history of Hernia surgery.
After infection with flu , which is a viral infection , it and the inflammation thereupon affects the old injured area, scars and so on , hence you have got the pain in particular areas only.
The pain in the testicle must be a referred one, or a neurological.

I would advise you the following:
-Bed rest strictly.
-Oral anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen.
Hot fomentation.
Oral steroids if required.
