I get this sometimes too depending on how I move. Dr said that unless it becomes an all the time thing not to worry about it. hope this helps

Tightness of the mesh is not uncommon, especially the first year. The tissues usually adapt in a few months. Remember, your abdominal muscles stretch and move in 3 directions and the mesh does not. I have long advocated hernia repairs using the patients own living, moving tissue to prevent the small but not insignificant numbers of patients who develop problems with mesh.
