Why was the testicle removed during a hernia operation?

Read up on the "Femoral Triangle".

There are a lot of nerves in that area (branches of the femoral nerve).
e.g. obturator, lateral cutaneous nerve, which could become injured (or
have adhesions/scar tissue), from a surgery.

This would be called a neuralgia -- it is a burning sensation along the
nerve path.

Does this sound like your case?

I have a similar injury myself to the area via a Psoas muscle rupture, so
i have become a bit of an unwilling expert in the subject of groin
innervation.

I have only found two treatments that work: (a) anti-convulsants, and (b)
LLLT (gallium-arsenide laser) done by the higher-tech physiotherapy
clinics. (e.g. it is endorsed by some of the Olympic teams, actually.)

IME, Pain clinics are a joke. Anesthetists just don't have the physical
therapy and physical medicine training to diagnose most pain very well.

They just want to do Pills and Needles -- not treat the real cause of the
problem.

Email me if you need LLLT treatment specifics.
