    Pain/tender 2 years post open repair w/mesh

    Plan of care depends slightly on type of repair you had, i.e., what type of mesh was implanted, too.
    Pain radiating in upper inner thigh can be ilioinguinal or genital branch of genitofemoral nerve. The genital branch is difficult to block unless you are experience.
    Also, as with any hernia repair, a recurrence should also be checked out as a cause.

    Near your area, I recommend Drs. at WashU: Michael Brunt, Jeff Blatnik.
