Nerve discomfort
Due to lingering pain caused by hernia, you might experience discomfort in some parts of the body which are associated to the same nerves. This often happens when the hernia annoys the nerves, as well as pain, travels alongside the nerve root. For example, when an inguinal hernia pushes on surrounding nerves, it might lead to tenderness in your labia (women), scrotum (men), or legs. Sports hernias can also cause nerve compression when the bulge presses this area, which results in a radiating pain around the dermatomes. [3]
