groin pain
by briellasdad, Feb 28, 2008 08:23PM
ok.. on october 2nd of 2006 had a routine hernia repair. But for some reason i was having increased pain in my groin and got put on pain meds. Well the pain went down into my left testicle and 6 months later i had another surgery to correct it which was a nerve resection. After I had this surgery the pain continued so my question is how am i still having pain if i lack the nerves in that area? and now im still on pain meds and its been a year and a half. and im worried about the damage im doin to my liver.

Your symptom and area of pain distribution suggests that the nerve affected is L1 nerve.
Nerves regenerate, or heal, at a rate 1 millimeter/day. The only nerves that can regenerate are the nerves outside of the spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. The nerves in the spinal cord, once damaged, cannot regenerate. However, if the peripheral nerve is severely damaged or stretched it may never heal.
If your nerve is partially damaged then you would have some pain sensations.
Hope this helps.
Bye.
