[|Human|] Can I have a problem from hernia surgery if I have pain in the groin, buttocks, and upper thigh? I had an inguinal hernia and I have been to a number of doctors and they did a number of tests and everything comes back with nothing wrong but I keep right on hurting. It hurts to sit, lay on my side and to walk. I had mesh put in and sometimes I feel a sticking sensation along with the pain.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. If all your test are normal.... then that pain can be due to hernia surgery.... The thing is, that when a mesh is placed, tissue grows around it and through it...in this process sometimes a nerve also gets entrapped... which may lead to chronic pain... Nothing much can be done for it except for a nerve block or neurosis...discuss it with your doctor or a pain specialist...
