Parkinson Related?

For the past 2 years I have been experiencing pain in my right & left groin area. Approx. 5 years ago I had a hernia operation on my right side. After seeing several doctors regarding this current pain, and after a Cat Scan and ultra sounds the doctors (my reg. MD & a surgeon) do not see anything that could be causing the pain. One dr. suggested it may be a nerve that was affected by the hernia operation. The pain I am experiencing is not constant, but comes and goes. Last night I experienced the pain on both sides of the groin area, and pain in my lower back. Do you think that this pain is associated with my Parkinsons? I have had PD for over 17 years, and am being treated with Sinemet CR, regular Sinemet and Comtan. I take this medication 5 times a day at 4 hour intervals. The Senemet CR is taken only in the morning and at night. Please advise what you think may be causing this pain. Thank you.

How are you feeling now? Is the pain still there?
Pain in groin area post surgery is common. But in groin area post-surgery after 5 years is uncommon, but possible. Nerve entrapment is a complication of hernia repair. The nerve Ilio-ingunal is safe guarded during the procedure, but if there is entrapment, it could result in pain, numbness as you are experiencing now.
I think you should consult your surgeon again and get a reference for neurologist.
Hope this helps you.
Bye.
