Groin pain

In December 2004 I was diagnosed with an inguinal hernia on the left side. The following month I had the hernia repaired using an open approach with implanted mesh. Ever since the surgery, I have had pain in the inguinal area that radiates to the left testicle. There is a constant feeling of discomfort in the region and intermittent pain that feels like a strong electric shock that lasts for several seconds. The pain is still occurring 4 years later and is gradually worsening. Could there have been some kind of nerve injury during the surgery that has caused this?

Hi,

It is possible that a nerve might have got injured eithe during the surgery or due to the mesh or due to scar tissue formation. Please consult a surgeon, if the pain is very severe.
