Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Inguinal hernia surgery require rest to get repaired. After four to six weeks you may resume normal activity without restriction.
However resuming a strenuous work out like weight lifting require further rest & it is advisable to start low weight and then increasing substantially. Looks like you have started immediately with high weight.

Now you should visit your surgeon, he would check if their is some herniation of contents again or not & treat accordingly. In mean while you could take pain killer like diclofenac.

Hoping your query is solved.
Get well soon.
