Slight Pain On Other Side of Groin to Hernia Posted: 12-04-07 12:57pm
I have an inguinal hernia on the right
side, having the operation on 18 December
2007.
But recently I have felt a slight pain on
the left side, but I cannot detect a
hernia there. I did the cough test and did
not feel any lump or bulge, there is no
sign of a hernia there, and the pain comes
and goes.
I do sometimes feel a bit sore or a slight
pain where the hernia is. I am guessing
that this is caused by the pressure of the
hernia on nerves.
But could the hernia pull on nerves to
create pain on the opposite side?
Or could this be another hernia
developing?

Update: Today I went to see the doctor and
explained about the pain on the left side
of my groin. He examined me and could not
detect anything, no second hernia (which I
thought might have been the cause), and he
could not find anything else wrong. The
pain comes and goes, and is not too
intense or painful. I can only guess it is
related to the existing hernia or just a
nerve being stressed or something?
