No, not really normal. Most of the time, pain resolves by 3 months. You should go back to your surgeon to discuss.
The incidence of chronic pain after hernia surgery is about 5-10%. It depends on a lot of factors: how much pain did you have before surgery, what is your activity level, where on your body was your hernia located. If you continue to have symptoms this long after surgery, you should contact your surgeon for an evaluation.
No. May require a follow up CT scan of abdomen and pelvis. Consult Functional Medicine to optimize healing and repair. Start Acupuncture with Moxibustion to thin out/minimize post op adhesion internal scarring.
