Pain Diary
Dr. Towfigh:
When Dr. Chen performed my laparoscopic genitofemoral neurectomy back in February, he checked for a hernia and did not find anything. My pain was caused, somehow, by a spermatic cord denervation. I know that this is an unusual cause for neuralgia in the groin, but somehow it occurred. Dr. Chen and I both believed that the pain was being caused by a genitofemoral nerve injury, but I have continued to suffer the same pain even after resection of that nerve. I experience burning in the groin and scrotal skin.
There is definitely something pathologically wrong. Ilioinguinal nerve injury maybe? That’s the last thing I can think of. I can’t think of what else it could be.
