Hello
I had surgery to repair hernia this past saturday.
The surgeon used a mesh.
I had a previous operation on my right side 6 years ago with no complications.
This time however, I have this awful pain, immobilizing pain in my groin area when I move in a certain way.
Im not sure if it is exactly the adductus longus muscle but I am desperate for help in knowing what this is, I thought i would provide as much information as possible.
I am going to see my surgeon tomorrow as an emergency visit.
some other info:
The area directly to the left of my penis, scrotum area, below the cut the surgeon performed is quite numb even though the surgery was performed days ago. It is is numb to the touch, i dont feel my fingers move over the skin area.
I mentioned to my doctor prior to the operation that I would feel 'gas pains' a fart moving through my instestines very much lower than normal. I would feel it almost in my adductus longus area, roughly where my numbness is now.
This pain is quite crippling when it does occur. Im not a doctor but it feels like nerve pain of some sort. I havent pulled many muscles in my lifetime so I cannot compare.
Any help alleviating my desire to know what the hell is going on, is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Terrence
