Suggest Treatment For Ilioinguinal Nuergia
Hello, I was recently diagnosed with ilioinguinal nuergia. It is essentially a postoperative complication from an laparoscopic inguinal hernia operation that I had a few months ago. The doctor suggested either a nerve block or an ilioinguinal nerve excision to solve the problem. I am currently in great pain; much worse than I had ever experienced before my hernia surgery. I need to get rid of this pain. It is ruining my life! However, I am extremely concerned about the possible side-effects associated with these procedures. Will you please enlighten me to the side-effects of the afore mentioned procedures. Also, I am interested to learn if there are any other options beside nerve blocking or Ilioinguinal nerve excision. They both seem quite extreme. Thank you very much. MB
