Actually This is my fourth week with MP which I got because of bilaterlal laparoscopic hernia repair with mesh and absorbable staples.
While my neurologist says the pain may go by itself, I've read an article that advises to do a nerve decompression surgery as soon as possible and favorably no more than 12 weeks after the abdominal surgery to increase the chances of success of the decompression operation and avoid permanent nerve damage.

I am currently trying to know which surgeon specialty is best qualified to do such operations, is it neuro surgeons or plastic surgeons?
I also think that my condition is much better than when I woke up from my surgery but I am still feeling the burning and getting the acute pain when I move my leg in certain positions so should I wait or not?

Your help is much appreciated.
I read an article that talked about a staple being right through the LFCN after placing mesh for a hernia repair. Sounds like this could be your situation. In the article, they went in and removed the staple.
