Hi, I had similar surgery for ilioinguinal and genitofemoral nerves, the
doctor excised the nerves from the deep scar tissue and put the endings
into the muscle. My question is t the recovery time and the type of
rehabilitation exercies and the time frame that I can start these
exercises? Additionally, I am an avid cyclist, runner, downhill skier
and would like to regain the strength properly to continue these
activities and not re-injure the nerves (i.e, pull them out of the
muscle).
In particular, my case was advanced due to multiple surgeries prior to
this including hernia repairs, oopherectomy, hysterectomy, cystectomy
all on the right side. Also, the doctor my nerve anatomy was unusual in
that the genitofemoral nerve was not in the usual place, and that is why
he thinks that the previous surgeons in my prior surgeries possibly
injured my nerves because they were not in the usual orientation or
area. I have suffered horrible pain from these nerve entrapments
similar to the case below. I do not want a reoccurence. Thanks
