My father has nerve damage in the groin area, he is in constant pain and
is told it is irreversable. He had a hernia operation, was still in
pain months after the operation, wound up there was a tumor on his ilio
inguinal nerve, They cut out the nerve. He was cured. Came back from
the hospital and 2-3 weeks after his return, a dog jumped on his
incision, he had numerous operations after that, they just kept cutting
the nerves in the area because they weren't sure what was causing the
pain. They thought that it was nerve related, that the dog did some
kind of nerve damage. They also took out all of the clips from the
hernia operation (which were holding the mesh). It's been 2 years and
he is still suffering. Has anyone had any kind of experience such as
this? He feels completely alone. Please get in touch with
