Hello and welcome.
Post-hernia pair rehabilitation is important and does take some time. A hernia has made a lot of changes in the cavity it was previously present, and so it will take time for things to return to a more confortable state.
But if your pain continues, then this may require some attention and possibly even another minor surgery. But as I do not have all the details, your operating surgeon would be the best person to direct all your questions to.
Best wishes.
