sometimes in sports hernia injuries, the sufferer can also have an injury to the aponeurosis of the external oblique and/or the muscle itself. this happens most often in hockey players, and has been termed "hockey groin syndrome." the tearing of the tissue can cause scarring and entrapment of the ilioinguinal nerve.
i am not sure if some methods of ap surgery can actually see this tearing in addition to the transverse fascial tearing that is always tended to.
the ilioinguinal nerve has been the cause of chronic groin pain for many people. the path of the nerve passes right down to the pubic bone and branches off from there....if it is entrapped and irritated enough, there can be nerve cross-talk in the area which can only make matters worse for the sufferer.
