    PeterC, how are you doing now? I am sorry to hear you are still in pain, I hope you are seeing improvements.

    Out of curiosity, have you tried anything to relax the muscles? I know Dr Towfigh as mentioned using Botox before for that purpose. Does anything help with the pain, or make it particularly worse?

    What was your original diagnosis, and how was it diagnosed? Was there an event that led to the beginning of the pain? How long did you have pain before your surgery?

    There are people on this forum who have had positive experiences with Dr Brown for hernia repairs, but it sounds like you did not have a hernia.

    SFIrishGuy, how are you doing now? Please keep us updated on your progress and situation.

    Just out of curiosity, have you tried nerve block injections, or daily NSAID to reduce regional inflammation? Does anything in particular help the pain, or worsen it? There is also some research to suggest that daily Vitamin C can slowly over time reduce nerve pain.

    If you don’t mind sharing, which surgeon / location was able to perform a Shouldice repair?
