Most inguinal hernias stem exertion combined with what amounts to a congenital defect. Sad to say, certain people (myself included) are more likely to sustain this injury.
How long ago was your repair? It took me about 3 years before I didn't really notice pressure at the surgery sites (I had bilateral hernia repair).
