Sorry you are going through this. I’m a fellow patient with groin pain who has done a fair amount of studying and reading, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but… don’t give up! And please keep us all updated on your progress! Does anything feel any different now that you are a few days out? Any better or worse? Are you taking tylenol or advil or anything for pain and does it work?
Perhaps you have pain signals in the ilioinguinal nerve still? Maybe try a nerve block in that remaining nerve? I could be wrong but based on my own research it looks like the ilioinguinal (and genitofemoral) nerve is alongside the spermatic cord, so I could think it possible to damage in a cord stripping procedure.
For what it’s worth, I have had chronic testicle / cord and groin pain and was also looking into the denervation procedure at a place in Florida after being initially written off by doctors as having some idiopathic groin pain, but it turns out I may actually have a very small hernia in the area, they just aren’t sure if it would cause the pain. It may not apply to you, but perhaps try requesting a Dynamic Ultrasound with straining, it could turn up something?
Good luck, stay positive, and keep us updated!
