    Years of inconclusive groin pain on right side. Maybe swelling? Maybe Hernia?

    Your workup is incomplete and not acceptable. The pain is obviously real and there is a treatable cause for it.

    The CT and Ultrasound are both positive but not diagnostic. I would recommend having the films re-reviewed. Alternatively, if these do not provide an answer, I recommend MRI.

    Most likely, you have a hernia. Alternative causes are vasitis and sacroiliitis.

    Do not burn or destroy any nerves. It will not cure any hernia. Also, it’s rare to unlikely to have a primary nerve problem without any trauma or surgery.

    If you’d like to send me your films I can help review them. Just contact my office or fill out an online consultation on my website. Or, let us know where you live and we can recommend a specialist nearby.
