Leg / Groin Pain Post Surgery

So it transpires I have a hernia as the lump is now very visible. Seeing my doctor Friday.

Best wishes

Hi Steve,

At least you know what's going on always better once you you find out what's going on .

Good luck.

I had a 65cc prostate the surgeon said this was the max for the type of procedure I had.

I'll keep you guys posted in a week or so as to my progress and my way of treatment cheers Stephen.

I started a new thread 2,3 days ago on this subject but cannot find it again.

What can I do to SEARCH and find it?

Mistermind, looking at your profile you only have two posts on here the one above and the first test one you did. Sometimes you can start a new conversation and think it has worked but in reality it hasn't. If you click your name next to your avitar and look at your profile you can see your previous posts.

I will often select and copy my text before completing a post, there is nothing more frustrating than spending a long time typing only to lose the post.

When posting a new conversation there are certain criteria you need to meet, including confirmation of the subject or area. Many of us start a new conversation of our own an just keep adding to it. I look at all posts irrespective of the subject.

Just noticed Lyn has posted while I was typing.

Thanks Chris 

This thread is as related to my issue as any other -- except that my issue did NOT follow surgery. Mine arose out of the blue, first time in my life. Having said that I am also age 82 for the first time in my life and thus reasonable that there will be a first time for everything.

I hesitate to use the word "PAIN", preferring as description "persisting ache" or "soreness". Five weeks after this first arose I still do not have definitive proof whether this is muscle/tendon related or the result of metatstaic cancer tissue spreading and squeesing on bones and nerves and vertebra foramen (specifically impacting my right thigh but not lower leg, while left thigh remains 100%.

If this is due to muscle tighness or knot in vastus lateralis or medialis or sartorius (not hamstring), or lymph node, a really knowledgeable masseur or masseuse hopefully can rectify this condition. I paid two sessions of £70 and £55 for massage, but the practitioner obviously did not have the insight for pinpoint-precise remedy. In two days I shall see the Oncology Registrar in my prestigious London hospital, hopefully to get a diagnosis and remedy, hopeful not confident.

My prostate high PSA alarm was known 11 years ago. Androgen deprivation following confirmation of metatasis was started by my consent only two years ago, comprising daily bicalutamide and 3-monthly Protap injection. For 11 years I was totally asymptomatic from anywhere in my body and persisted so -- until 5 weeks ago. Up until 5 weeks ago i did a scenic exercise walk of 1.5 miles per day taking 50 minutes and feeling noticeably better for it.

I shall discuss with the Registrar whether to start Enzolutamide or Arbiraterone.

Docetaxel I am wary of as it has a high chance of triggering total hair loss. Info and experience would be appreciated.

I was referring to the use of "orifice" LOL

🤣🤣🤣🫣

It may be my Registrar, if I get to see her, has never encountered lymphocele-obturator squash-up before.

Where would be the smoking gun to prove this squeezing (and not metastatic cancer tissue encroaching on vertebra foramen and nerves)? In other words the collision of lymph noe and nerve takes place in the right buttock and under the quadriceps, not in the classic location around the spine?

Please, what procedure finally produced the imaging that pinpointed the location and persuaded the specialist finally towards draining the lymphocele? Thanks.
