[USER=”2029″]Good intentions[/USER] Thanks for your perspective. Makes sense. If It’d be OK in two years, I’d be thrilled.

I do wonder if an inclined treadmill places extra stress on the ligaments or that specific muscle area. Or if that is a Psoas issue. Seems like numbness in the thigh develops as well. Needless to say, not doing that again. At least for. awhile.

[USER=”3124″]HollyH[/USER] Can I ask who you saw regarding regenerative medicine? I take it you are in OH if you are near Dr Grishkan as I am (Dublin area).

I did for 3 years and desperately wish I had continued to do so. No special diet — except fiber, and staying fit / cardio. No heavy lifting. Had regular checkups. You can’t go back if something doesn’t go “right” and the odds are surprising bad that something will go wrong. It will literally ruin your life. No exaggeration.

[USER=”3024″]andrew1982[/USER] I am 100% with you, and I wish more people knew this. And I feel your pain and too wish I had waited and watched, as mine was small as well, instead of trying to get “perfect” / head off an issue that may well never have been an issue of note. Like you, I also was very active, and have two twin girls who now worry at me school, want daddy back, and family is being torn apart, lots of tears. I do feel guilt. And like you, I have disc issues and can’t do the exercises that kept that mostly at bay. What INFURIATES me, is I was not given ANY informed consent, not even 1 in 1000 — just zero. In fact, I was given negative consent if such a thing exists: I asked a question about numbness in my inner thigh, thinking it might be related to the groin, and stated that I was worried about stirring up a hornets nest with surgery — and I was told it’s from my back. If I heard 1 in 100 chance of this I would have deferred. It was all “no mesh! no mesh!” implication being “no problem” I wish so much I found this particular amazing resource earlier. What’s becoming more clear all the time, from what I am reading here from the doctors who so generously volunteer their time, I can see how much of a difference there is in surgeons. I hope, and pray, you can find your answers. You are not alone — although that doesn’t help, I fully realize. But there has to be an answer.

The genital nerve does not innervate the psoas muscle.
A neurectomy will decrease pain in the spermatic cord and testicle.
The genital nerve innervates the cremasteric muscle.

[USER=”2580″]DrBrown[/USER] Will that cause the cremaster muscle to lose functionality?

quote drtowfigh:

Patients do well from lap neurectomy for the genitofemoral nerve.

all neurectomy have about 5% risk of neuroma.

[USER=”935″]drtowfigh[/USER] Is that unresolvable if a neuroma occurs?

Maybe a technical center that has diagrams of the different types and kinds, like direct, indirect, and perhaps the different reconstruction or repair types? Or maybe a healing section that goes into the way the body integrates collagen, etc and the timeframes of that process, how long sutures tend to stay in the body, etc so people might be less inclined to “come back” too soon? With mine, I personally wish I was told that info at my post op, I only learned that from a neighbor who is a surgeon and this was months after it was done. I wish I knew, personally. Seems like the more you know the better chance you have to get through the process of healing.

Sounds like Ilioinguinal neuralgia. That nerve travels up towards the iliac crest. You can irritate it by wearing a tight belt for instance.

[USER=”2029″]Good intentions[/USER] Hello, and thank you.

I had the Desarda Feb 4 2019, it failed fast, and an incisional then developed, as well.

So I had the 2nd surgery Oct 31, to fix what was a recurrence, and an incisional.

Per the operative report:
• Interpartietal hernia involving lateral abdominal wall
• Indirect recurrent inguinal hernia

I’m attaching the operative report too, for details.

Also worried I might not ever get my abdominal strength back, though Dr Grischkan believes I will, so I try to keep faith. This has just been a horrible, long journey into a rabbit hole I was determined to avoid… yet… here I am.

@drtowfigh Can you make my reply to Jnomesh visible please? It’s been hidden as spam.

[USER=”2042″]Jnomesh[/USER] not sure why my reply to you is unapproved. Maybe an admin can help?

Hi Jnomesh

Since it is technically pertinent to this discussion I will name the technique of the original surgery — Desarda.

The 2nd surgeon was Dr Grischkan in Cleveland. In my “backyard” and I didn’t realize it. Apparently he is successful via referrals, not AdWords. I told his staff I would be happy to help him with his website’s exposure, so maybe others would have more options available to them. I much rather would have done it close for obvious reasons, and since his technique sounds like a better approach with less tissue damage.

I would love it if the Dr’s could weigh in — I am considering flying out to CA to see Dr. Towfigh, I was encouraged when I read this comment from her on another post, and really it’s been one of the few encouraging things I’ve seen and I am hanging on to: “Most importantly: there is a cure. Don’t lose hope. Whatever the problem, it can be fixed. Continue to be your own biggest advocate.”

I just got back from my therapist, and he thinks the pentagabin is affecting my mood and thoughts, and I agree… but the alternative is the unbearable pain which seems to be mostly from the IN. My back, side, groin and thigh all get going and it’s too much.
