Hi Bernadette,
You might want to consider pelvic floor muscle function, pudendal nerve
entrapment or even entrapment of the cutaneous nerves in the scar tissue.
Connective tissue mobilizations may be done by the patient if his does not
have increased sensitivity to touch in the region. Could this patient be
suffering from a complex regional pain syndrome? Has his pain been long
standing?
Hope this helps,
