Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is a very typical problem where you get pains in the groin and the scrotal area due to spinal problem, which has already been operated twice and even the original pain is coming back.
I wulpd advise you the following.
Get fresh MRI and CT scan also.
Get the nerve conduction studies.
Diagnostic pudemdal nerve block followed by peripheral neurectomy may be considered if you are old and the pain is intractable.
I find this answer helpful
