    Dr. Towfigh – Neurectomy

    Otzi:
    Thanks for your great posts.
    A quick comment that may be relevant to you:
    Groin pain is usually not from nerve damage unless there was a direct trauma or an operation that could potentially cause nerve damage.
    Isolated testicular pain has a lot of potential causes, but once again, nerve damage is not the primary cause unless the nerve has actually been damaged.
    My point is this: most patients with groin pain, especially radiating to the testicle, have a hernia.
    The Puhr clinic in Florida is an excellence source for treatment of testicular pain due to an injury or prior surgery. However, in my experience, since they are urologists only, they may miss patients that have occult hernias.
    In my experience, radiating pain is an occult inguinal hernia unless proven otherwise and I strongly recommend against fiddling with any nerves.
