HI.
IF the hernia repair was done on the same side of the pain you have , we have to think about recurrence of hernia as the first cause pain.
Secondly, this can be due to a torsion of the testis as the pain is so severe.
Thirdly, I would consider epididymo-orchitis as a cause of pain .
A proper clinical / physical examination by an Urologist or a Surgeon can help to find the cause as well as the ultrasonography along with color doppler o the scrotum and the abdomen can help to see if this is recurrence/ torsion of testis or infection.
Fourthly, I can think about nerve entrapment into the scar tissues.
The treatment will necessarily be dependent upon all the findings.
