Leg / Groin Pain Post Surgery

As I never had lymphodenectomy there were no lymphoceles to leak lymph. However my previous MRI revealed the existence of my 11-mm iliac lymph node. In general I wonder if one lymph node or another in some sensitive cramped location could generate pressure which is then felt by the Obturator nerve.

That kind of pressure might explain intermittent worsening or easing nerve response, according to pressure and activity and placement of leg? I shall put this to my Registrar tomorrow and hope she does not laugh me out of court.

After having my soothing cleansing hot shower, I now aim COLD water from the shower-head at my leg/groin. This seems to persuade nature to cool it and my ache signals become muffled or less noticeable -- at least for a period of time.

I surmise that pain and pleasure signals are to some extent subjective -- if the body and mind are persuaded or cajoled into believing that an upswing or downswing is in progress, that interpretation will be accentuated.

If cold water spray or immersion helps, well cold water unlike painkiller pills will never become addictive.
