[|Human|] I had a hernia repair done back in June 2014.. everything came out ok.. and I got released back to work.. and I got a more heavy labor job. With constant heavy lifting..I have about a week working here and three days ago I started having pain in my left lower side of my stomach and my left testicle hurts and I get real sharp pains.. would this be happening cause of my job worsening my hernia repair.. please help??
[|AI|]  HI.IF the hernia repair was done on the same side of the pain you have, we have to think about recurrence of hernia as the first cause pain. Secondly, this can be due to a torsion of the testis as the pain is so severe. Thirdly, I would consider epididymo-orchitis as a cause of pain. A proper clinical / physical examination by a Urologist or a Surgeon can help to find the cause as well as the ultrasonography along with color Doppler o the scrotum and the abdomen can help to see if this is recurrence/ torsion of testis or infection. Fourthly, I can think about nerve entrapment into the scar tissues. The treatment will necessarily be dependent upon all the findings.
