You had a sports hernia 2 years ago you reinjured the same area 8 months ago you went to a surgeon and he did a catscan on you and found nothing but you sill hert in that area somedays and very bad th?

I am not an MD but have had my bouts with sports hernia's. After playing Ice Hockey for 30 years, I have had 2 and re-injured another after a full mesh repair. Typically sports hernia's are very difficult to find on a CT scan. In males, a sports hernia is the pain caused at the inception of an inguinal hernia. As the peritoneum weakens and your intestines push through the inguinal canal, it provides enough pressure onto this nerve that will cause pain. I have heard this nerve controls feeling in the front and inside of your upper thigh. Some can be very pain full. Usually the pain will subside with rest (laying down to reposition your intestines) to relieve the pressure. That's why its difficult to see b/c it's only a small amount of movement.

If you did not have surgery on the 1st sports hernia, I am surprised you made it this far. Typically they will become a full inguinal hernia's within 6 months of the diagnosis with the same level of activity. At least it was this way for me.

If you look hard you will find a doctor that will do a full hernia mesh repair even for sports hernia symptom's. This is becoming more common.

If you do have a full inguinal hernia repair. Make sure to limit your pain killers and take lots of stool softeners. You won't be able to move much after the hernia repair and constipation could possible lead to re-injury in the early stages.
