Nerve pain in foot after 2nd inguinal hernia repair

Yes , I get right front thy sensations, such as a numb or itchy feeling but if you scratch it it feels like you are ripping the skin off your leg. As well as testicular pain and some days it feels like the skin is seperating in my pubic bone area and cold water is between the 2 areas. so I would guess, based on all I read so far it has something to do with the nerve in that area.

I had a condition that stemmed from inguinal hernia repair, that I understand is pretty rare. It is called meralgia paresthetica, and it was caused by the scar tissue from the hernia repair, constricting around a nerve that goes to my leg. When it first set in, It was the most painful feeling to my leg that I ever experienced. After about ten days or so, the pain subsided leaving my leg with a numbness and burning or tingling sensation along the side of my thigh. Kind of like when you hit your "funny bone" in your elbow. but in my leg 24/7. I get RFA nerve blocks every ten months or so that deaden the nerve. (RFA = Radio Frequency Ablation) Eventually, the nerve heals, and resumes transmitting pain or this sensation again. If they kill the nerve all the way, I could be left with a permanent numbness sensation along the side of my thigh. Trading one sensation for another. That's why we stick with this temporary procedure. I sometimes get pain on the upper calf just below my knee. but only when I push my leg excessively like walking on a treadmill as fast as I can for an hour after three days in a row. By I haven't felt anything in my foot. They can also do an EMG test to see if there is any nerve damage. These are just some other tools that a neurologist or pain management specialist has available to help with a more conclusive diagnosis. Good luck.

I had the same thing. I was super nervous, but it finally went away after about 3 months.
