CHRONICPAIN: Genitofemoral NerveFrom: Lynn Pitman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 29 May 2009 21:28:26 -0500 (CDT)
I am a 38 year old female...about two years ago I woke up with pain on my right side which I thought was groin pain as I have pulled my right groin muscle about 5 years ag0..however, the pain manifested itself wholly different from a groin pull...the pain was an irritation, like a sharp pin sensation, almost felt like little tears being made. The pain would come and go. I was an active runner, ran everyday in addition to hard sprinting. In March of last year, I felt the pain on my right side come back, and then, it was felt on the left side. I went to a neurologist who evaluated me and felt it was the genitofemoral nerve that was the cause of my pain. I went for nerve block last May and it worked, but the pain, after about 2 months, came back. I've seen my neurologist a few times after the initial nerve block, and he keeps asking me if I am sure that I don't have endometriosis. I had a pelvic MRI done last May and there is a small cyst on my right ovary. My neurologist wants to rule out any gynecological problems before I consider other options. Is there, by chance, any relation to nerves hurting because of endometriosis? Can the genitofemoral nerve be affected by the ovaries? Can the endometrial lining go on to the nerves? I had a pelvic exam done in November 2008, and the OBGYN told me my pelvis is fine, that the cyst is small, that I shouldn't worry. I have another appointment with an OBGYN in June.
