Too low?

Yes. I think they had it set for 45. The nurse kept coming in to check &
reset it (I guess it was fixed). Finally she asked (despite my gray
hair), "Are you an athlete?"

ChrisC, if your pain does not go away within what you consider to be a
reasonable time, I would suggest that you insist that the surgeon go
back into the surgery site(s) arthroscopically to check for unintended
entrapments in the mesh, or places where the mesh is attached to your
fascia that are unduly pulling on the fascia or other tissues, and to
make sure that the mesh is indeed preventing intestinal intrusion into
the inguinal canal, as it is supposed to do. All of these things can
be corrected in a minimally-invasive arthroscopic surgery.

Screw that **** about the nerve blocks, etc. There is no need for
that crap if the surgery was done correctly!
