Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your husband's complaints could be related to a pinched nerve or an infection.
Abnormal lymphatic drainage could also cause swelling in this region.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with his doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- a nerve conduction study to exclude possible pinched nerve in this region.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
