Event Description

Dear sir, i am writing concerning a surgery i had in 2002.It was a hernia, done with mesh.I am still experiencing bad complications after all these years.I get pangs that feel like a bowie knife stabbing.I can't get off the toilet sometimes because of pain, and difficulty walking when flare up happens.Am i the only one having these issues? if not, is there anything being done on our behalf? thank you for your time and effort.
