Ask the Dr: Call the Dr who did the repair. Have a followup exam - that's part of the procedure and the only way to know if healing is on track. Don't wait! Try not to use or hold on to imagry of such violent or inflammatory things - they make pain worse. Those who need to manage chronic pain are taught to use accurate but colorless words. Every little bit counts! Call now!

Could be nerve: There is a nerve in the groin area that is a sensory nerve. It can get caught up in the scar tissue after a groin hernia repair. Follow-up with your surgeon to check this out.
