I agree with you. ....... I guess one of the limitations is they can't release info about patients due to HIPPA but it seems like they could give you a general idea of what to expect, especially when you are coming from out-of-state. Violet You would understand this Violet. Thanks again for the sup...

...... I haven't seen Dr. Elkwood as a patient but I did speak with him for a phone interview for our website. He was not in a rush, he was thorough in answering all of my questions, and pleasant. I found him to be very knowledgeable but not arrogant. I have not spoken with any of his patients so I...

I remember a bit of soreness/stiffness in the hip area afterwards, but I think that was more related to the procedure, positioning, probe being inserted, etc. Anita Hi Anita, Can you tell me the name of t...

Hi Hank, what part of the country are you in, and are you willing to travel? I had cryoablation (freezing) of the ilioinguinal nerve done several years ago at a pain clinic in Minnesota. Hello acw, I'm in Wisconsin, in Madison. Today I met for the 3rd time with the neurosurgeon in the Madison VA. T...

Hank, You may try searching in this forum in the right top box for ilioinguinal to see if anyone has a post with some doctor or lead. Janet Thanks Janet. Yes, I did a search here and found out about Jason Attaman, DO, of Seattle. He may treat this and he does do PRF (pulsed radiofrequency) which I ...

The PT I saw seemed to know more about this than the orthopedic surgeon I saw before I had a proper diagnosis. Violet Violet, yes I've been c...
