Phantom Pain?

One of my friends asked me if I’ve experienced any phantom pain. The answer is basically no. I don’t feel anything from a missing penis. However, I do have a pain caused by my former male anatomy. Since a few days after surgery I’ve been complaining of a pain on the upper left side of my groin. My first fear was that we’d caused a hernia. I’ve had two on the right side and I can’t imagine how problematic it would be to get a hernia repair for an injury caused by “elective” surgery. I mentioned my pain to many people but I kept forgetting about it when Dr M was here. Bobby said she has a pain in the same place and Miranda said she has one on the other side. Nobody had a cause to offer. I finally mentioned it to Dr M tonight and he said that it’s usually caused by the remnants of the spermatic cord contracting back after surgery. I can’t wait for the pain to pass.
