I am dealing with the same problems.  I close to two years post surgery but I began having problems nearly the same time frame as you.  I have had hematomas that have had to be drained, constant UTI's, kidney infections, a neuroma on the scar site that had to be excised, and abraided mesh that had to be surgically removed.  Now, I'm lookin into the possibilty of having the whole mess taken out.  It has definitely ruined my quality of life.  I haven't had relations with my husband in over two years.  I am in constant pain and treated by a pain management specialist.  I do not sit our stand or walk without thinking about this disaster.  I began this whole process when my second daughter could barely walk and now she's learning her letters in preschool.  It makes me sad and sick and terrified that I'll feel this way forever.  The cream seems like a kiss off to me.  I'd get a second opinion and not waste a second.
