Hello,
Post hernia surgery, fibrosis is very common. And fibrosis can cause painful lump. No treatment is needed for this. Apply ice packs, take a simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
