I Recently Had A Hernia Repair Using Mesh!! According To

I recently had a hernia repair using mesh!! According to the doctor my hernia was a jagged tear going down the right side of my navel!! A mesh repair was done placing the mesh over the navel area and a little to the right of the navel!! I have had severe pain in my right side!! Not in the area specified for repair!! Be advised i have had three surgeries in six months! All three laporoscopic!! But i have been told by others that mesh hernia repairs are not typically this painful!! I go for my final checkup on june 22nd! My surgery was performed on May 8th!! I am praying that this is normal for me! The nurse said that it is because of me having so many surgeries back to back! Gallbladder, appendix and then hernia and because of the mesh placement! She stated that with every move i am using my core and that is what is causing the pain!! What do you think about my situation?
