Is my Spinal Stenosis causing my leg pain?

My husband had the MILD procedure 3 weeks ago, and his pain is much worse. He now has pain in the groin that makes it difficult to walk and to sleep. He sometimes is using a cane. Prior to the MILD he had little to no pain in groin area. The doctor said the procedure went very well. He never told us there would be a long recovery or that the pain might get worse before it got better after the procedure. Now he has scheduled an MRI for the hip. The new pain began within 48 hours after surgery. Any ideas on how to handle this? Would be interested in hearing from others who had the MILD procedure.

I had the MILD procedure a few months ago ....
I was in pain for a few days following the procedure, the physician told me it was a result of inflammation and prescribed an oral steroid. The MILD procedure (and the oral steroid) did nothing for me. My pain persisted. I do have groin pain, but that is because I have bilateral inguinal hernias. The disturbing piece of this is that I devloped leg pain in both legs, mostly from the hip to the knees, making walking and standing next to impossible without horrible pain. The physician final recommendation for me was to get the Spinal Cord Stimulator for the pain. I have not pursued any further medical treatment for this. I still remain in a lot of pain and actually don't know how to proceed or what type of doctor to see regarding my condition.
