Double inguinal in 83 with mesh. Told my Urologist last visit that I was having intermittent blue ball pain from my spermatic cord. He said a simple, painless 5 minute procedure would fix that for life. They go in & snip the nerve that accompanies the cord. It is a very small incision which would be glued together. He said it is an option if you find the pain to be vexing.
