What Causes Severe Pain On The Groin With A History Of Inguinal Hernia Surgery?
Hi doctor, I had a inguinal hernia surgery on 12/23/13. I had no pain up until I resumed normal activity on Easter Sunday 4/20/14. After this I started getting a sharp stabbing pain in my groin. Now it is to the point I can t even raise my right leg. I have an MRI scheduled tomorrow and a follow-up on Thursday of this week with the pain doctor. The pain used to go away with a good night s sleep but that does no good any more. After sitting 8 hours at work then when I get home is the worst time. What do you think is causing this extreme groin pain on the right side of my lower groin? Thank you, Tom

please get the surgeon to have a look at your surgical site it could be infected and that could cause the severe pain u are talking about if so the area needs to be re explored and antibiotics need to be started
