I had a hernia repair surgery in 2004 and have had problems and pain ever since. I have been diagnosed or assessed with "genitofemoral neuralgia". I have scar tissue in the spermatic cord and have such severe pain that I cannot get out of bed some days. I have been seen by doctors, specialists, pain management clinics, etc.... the only relief I seem to ever get is with a pain medication combination and a analgesic injection in the groin area, but that only lasts for a few days. I've been told that their is no reversal for this condition and removal of the testical may not rid the pain. I experience pain in my stomach as far up as my belly button, in my left testical and down my leg. It has been ongoing for 3 years now and I want to know how rare this is and if anything can be done to correct or ease the pain I experience. I also feel pain with ejaculation. This has changed my whole life and I cannot even work anymore. I am only 45 years old and would like some insight or information on this condition.
