A member asked:

What can i do if my femoral hernia hurts down the inside of my thigh. does that mean it is by a nerve?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, if: Pain radiates down your thigh. But it could also mean that it is intermittently incarcerated. Show it to your surgeon, so he can make proper recommendation regarding surgical repair.
