You went back to quickly to running after your surgery. To really let a hernia surgery heal you've got to give it four months. For now take a break from running . Give your body the time it needs to heal. Then slowly start back your running routine, but only every other day.
Take a good quality Multi vitamin twice daily to give your body the nutrition it needs to heal.
If you have any further questions please let me know,

If you had general anesthesia with your surgery, it can sometimes take 6 weeks to completely recover from that. But if the problem persists, I would keep after the doctors until you get some results. You might need an arteriogram.

I think you just need to rest for a while.
I used to have terrible pain in my legs too and it turned out to be that i have to rest for a while from running cause i used to do it everyday or so.
I don't know really but anyway get well soon.
:D
