Trash Screen Hernia Repair

Anyone had the mesh inserted in their gut?

Yep, 1996.  Every once in a while there's a little pain.  I have lifted and strained mightily many times over the years, still holding.

If you don't feel good, there is a class action lawsuit for it.

Had it done in 2006 - and it still bothers me , itch , then kind of ache but a feeling like something is bunched up in area , also some numbness in hip joint and inside of leg near hip . 
 Been back to 2 surgeons , one said he could prescribe meds to make feelings go away but would need to take for life if started . 
 Other suggested having ultrasound treatments , tried them and realized  only thing it was doing is making my wallet thinner and paying for someone elses vacation fund as they did nothing for me.
 3 regular MD's I have seen for other things and then asked about the problem said they were unsure but everything looked OK and no signs of outward problems . one told me the mesh they used was not one of the ones recalled . 
 So feel it every day and many times at night as right leg in groin and hip feels cramped or numb and itchy . 
 Tried Blue Emu salve and did nothing , find if I ride my motorcycle my right leg will cramp in hip area after a hour or so and need to stand up and shake leg to get feeling back - if i stop and put weight on that leg it will not support me and the bike .
 Lady Surgeon who did the work - moved to North Carolina about 6 months after she put the mesh in - the kind of itch and odd feeling has been there since a day or so after the stuff was put in . 
 Every DOT physical have asked and they check area but say it's no problem and a neat sewing job outside , and can't see any problem . 
 Ya wonder if should of just kept using a truss and pushing it back when it popped out but why I had the surgery was one day it popped and could not get it back , wife took me to Emergency Room , doc tried to put it back - no go , then put me out with a IV - wife said she never heard me scream and call someone names like I did as doctor pushed everything back - (I don't remember any of that ) He tried 3 or 4 times before he got thing arranged right and told her he was about to call surgeon for emergency but went in last try , 3 days later had the surgery - in and out in same day 6AM in and home by noon. And then everything wore off and a day of sleep
