    top hernia doctors in georgia or tn

    It has been 3 months since my appointment with Dr. Chen and I have been working with Dr. Bittner at VCU, as suggested by Dr. Chen, to help coordinate some interventional radiology injections. I have had ilioinguinal nerve block, TAP block and CT guided suprapubic block (I got the feeling this isn’t done very often!) I havent gotten any relief except a little relief from burning on the right side with ilioinguinal block. If nothing else, I guess these blocks will prove to be diagnostic. Still in lots of pain. I am going to go back to Dr. Bittner to find out next step, but I believe I am supposed to try epidural blocks next. Do any of the doctors here think that epidural blocks would help if none of the nerve blocks in the groin and abdomen helped? Is there a way to find out if there is a problem with the mesh and it isn’t a nerve problem? I have pain from my belly button to my pubis and out to both hip bones and Severe bilateral groin pain. Thank you for your help and any advice is appreciated.
