Good morning Dr.,
My situation is decidedly different from most on here, but I happened to read about you in researching potential solutions to my problem so I found my way here.
First, let me start by saying that I have never had a hernia or any type of hernia surgery (I know, why am I posting on a hernia message board?) What I did have, however, was a spermatic cord stripping surgery performed by a urologist here in San Diego, in an effort to treat some idiopathic testicular pain I had been having. A couple of weeks after the surgery, I developed severe burning pain in my groin and scrotal area that has not subsided. I saw a pain management specialist for the problem, who identified the pain as being in the distribution of the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve and has diagnosed me with genitofemoral neuralgia.
I am in pretty horrific pain and discomfort on a daily basis. I know that I likely fall outside the norm of patients that you typically treat, but I wanted to at least reach out to you and see if this is something you may be able to help with. Thanks Dr.
