Can I have a problem from hernia surgery if I have pain in the groin, buttocks, and upper thigh? I had an inguinal hernia and I have been to a number of doctors and they did a number of tests and everything comes back with nothing wrong but I keep right on hurting. It hurts to sit, lay on my side and to walk. I had mesh put in and sometimes I feel a sticking sensation along with the pain.
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. If all your test are normal.... then that pain can be due to hernia surgery.... The thing is, that when a mesh is placed, tissue grows around it and through it...in this process sometimes a nerve also gets entrapped... which may lead to chronic pain... Nothing much can be done for it except for a nerve block or neurosis...discuss it with your doctor or a pain specialist...
