Nerve Repair

Hi, 

I had Pelvic Extenerative Surgery in March 2021. I have a skin graft that runs along my bottom and underneath between my legs. The graft is soft and healed except for a tiny section that is slowly mending. I also had the lymph nodes in both groins removed. 

For the last few weeks I have experienced random shooting pains in the area and a  tingling sensation when I sometimes bend over. My consultant said the shooting pains sounded like nerve repair.

Has anybody else suffered these pains post op? I get so worried that I am ill again.

  • Hi Threecats,

    I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing these difficulties and the concerns are quite understandable. If your consultant doesn't seem too concerned then do try to take some reassurance from that. If things persist and you remain worried, it is your doctor/specialist who will be best placed to advise, so do talk things through with them. In the meantime if anyone here has similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
