I had severe low back pain and pain in my testicles after feeling a pop in my groin, which eventually led to a throbbing pain in my waistline. I had an inguinal hernia repair a year ago, which eliminated the testicular pain but not the back pain or the throbbing in my waistline. The surgeon suggested the throbbing might be due to mesh staples being pressured by my belly when sitting, but the staples should have dissolved by now. The throbbing existed before the surgery, and the surgeon couldn't explain it. The back pain varies in intensity and subsides when lying down but increases with activity. The abdominal throbbing comes and goes, more pronounced when sitting or bending. What could be causing these symptoms, and what further diagnostic steps should I take?
