So my friends if you or your loved ones have experienced this let me know what the doctor did to fix it.
My husband had a inguinal hernia mesh repair done almost a year ago. He says he occasionally is a little tender but he gets stabbing pains. I've been next to him and seen him stop dead in his tracks doubling over with a stabbing pain in the surgical area. He went to the dr and he said it's either a scar tissue issue or a nerve issue. So he referred him to a pain clinic.
He went yesterday. He said this pain dr wants to sedate him and give him a shot in the surgical area. His description was vague and he had no idea what kind of sedation they wanted to do. Ok so yeah I now have 49 questions. While there are surgeries done all the time sedation does have it's risks though rare so what is the purpose of sedation when this isn't a surgical procedure. It also sounded like he was describing a shot that was an anti inflammatory as well as something for the nerve. If that nerve is being pinched by scar tissue or the mesh how is this shot not just a temporary help or an actual fix. I'd hate for him to go through all this and have this happen again in a few months and have a bill for something that wasn't what he needed to fix the problem. So yes I put in a call to the dr office and am waiting for them to call back.
