Well most of you know, that I recieved an injury that cost me 2 surgery's. And they where fairly simple surgery's, that some if not most of the guy's on this board have been through. In the process of these sugery's, The doc, damaged 2 very important Nerve's.
So since 2004, I have been on Narcotics, like Loratab's, Vicodin, Norco, and just recently My pain doc, has put me on Dilaudid, with the treatments of pain blocks. The pain blocks in general are not very affective, and I am very sore for about 3-4 days afterwards. He suggested at one time for me to undrgo another surgery to install a electro pulser, on the 2 nerve's. But just recently He thinks I art to get a 2nd opinion from a diffrent surgeon. He said the he don't think I should be feeling the mesh, fold up. Which started about 5 months ago, after putting on my jeans, I felt a pop, and a whole lot of pain following.
The surgeon that did the 2 surgery's, examend me, and said it was scar tissue, from what she could tell. And if it was the mesh, she couldn't feel it. This has affected my work, my home life, and my fun life "no discription further needed?"
So Now I am looking for another surgeon to get the 2nd opinion, and I am thinking of getting of the meds. My problem is, after being off, how will I deal with the pain. And I am not so sure I want to go through the withdrawls. I did it befor, and they were not pleasent.
My friend's on here, I have a question.
For those who have had sugery for a Direct and a Indirect Hernia, did y'all have post op pain for 3 years or more, due to Illoinguinial and femoral nerve damage?
