They done an anesthesia ilioinguinal nerve block with ultrasound guidance, no cutting of the nerves as yet, that will be discussed at Southampton hospital next month (microsurgical cord denervation).
Its now been 5 hours since the block, and I still have the pain. The surgeon says it can take days for the block to work, he says if it doesn't work, he has some other ideas in mind... I'm due to go back for a follow-up appointment, so lets see what happens, but I don't reckon this block has worked.
I learnt today that chronic testicle pain is now becoming very common, and is seen as a medical discharge from the army.
