I totally agree with the people saying go to neurologist. I wasted 10 years with orthopedic doctors who just wanted to operate inject yada yada they never got to the bottom of it. Meanwhile, my nerve loss of feeling has gotten much worse, and I finally been connected to neurologist. It’s a world of difference you need nerve conduction studies. That’s the only way they can pinpoint what’s wrong. Stay away from the orthopedic doctors until you consult with the neurologist.

In the 3 years since my surgery and this problem, no one has helped. I've seen a neurologist, orthopedic and had nerve conduction study. When that guy did the nerve conduction test, he wouldn't go up to the groin region to check the nerves because it had only been a month or so. How can he tell what condition the nerves are in if he doesn't go to the right place? I do want another nerve conduction test and will ask my doctor to send me there, but don't know where I'll go from there with doctors who don't want to fix a problem. I'm so sick of doctors.
