Anyone experience pain, discomfort, tenderness along perineum post-RP?

I had occasional perineal pain for most of the first year after my prostatectomy. I also developed a reoccurrence of an inguinal hernia, so some of the pain may have been related to the hernia. Time and hernia surgery have eliminated that pain, but I still occasionally get muscle spasms if I overdo it with my Kegel exercises.

There are hints of inguinal hernia-like pain. I had a lapro-inguinal hernia surgery 11 years prior to RP. It was a slight "complicating factor" in my RP surgery (because the "mesh" they used in hernia surgery made access to prostate and related areas more challenging). That pain is in a different area - but very interesting to hear of your experience. Thank you!
