Such discomfort and hardening and swelling in case of mesh placed in inguinal hernia, operation is very common condition (Post operative ) you need to be very patience for few weeks, if this does not improved then this need to be discuss with your surgeon, in my opinion old technic of repair of hernia would be best, (Without mess) hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
