Could be occult inguinal hernia or a sports hernia which involves small tear in the muscle that irritates the nerve.
If you wish, you can seek online consultation with me. I can read the MRI myself and review your symptoms to help figure out exactly what you have and what to do about it.
can contact my office for more info. -

Could be an inguinal hernia if the imaging is misread and the hernia is small. Symptoms suggest that.
so you saw what sounds like a hernia specialist. Did they say they looked at the mri themselves? What explains the symptoms?

It’s not a tear in muscle, like an athletic strain. It’s an enlargement of an already existing hole. Also, when the muscle tears, it can scar down and heal. Not so much when fascia tears.

Size is often classified based on bulging amount.

No. Not familiar with them.

I believe there is a pinned post on what to ask your surgeon or perhaps a post that you can find using the search function

I suggest either following your surgeon’s or advice or get a second opinion from a hernia specialist.

Dancers and ballerinas and yoga instructors are a different breed of athlete. They tend to get tissue repairs or laparoscopic repairs with lightweight mesh, as flexibility is key to their career and they tend to be quite thin

Effective May 2020, the European Commission has reclassified mesh as high risk and all companies must show animal data to support use of their products.
