Ok so I am now a little over three weeks postop. No real changes in symptoms for the most part, but I have been noticing some more intense stinging pains/sensation on the left side instead of just the right. I am considering asking Conway if I should go back and get the left side done. Since my cond...

It hasn't even been a week and it already feels like it's getting better. My whole right side where most of my symptoms were present has this weird tingly numb feeling now. Still having a lot of urinary dysfunction but I feel like that will fade away with time. Sexual sensation is different in a wei...

Hello all, Posting an update. I am 4 days post-op from the decompression surgery. All went well, and Dr. Conway found that I was entrapped by the sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligament fusing together. Initial nerve testing of the pudendal nerve required 5 milliamps of current to obtain a signal, a...

It looks like I'm going to move forward with the surgery. I found a couple people online who have had success with it, so I have a little more confidence in it now.

Violet, Thanks for the reply. He did say he's had successful unilateral surgeries. It was something like 40% improved greatly, 40% improved some, and 20% had no change. Not too sure on those stats though. He thinks it's unilateral because he did the rectal exam and it hurt when he pressed on the rig...

Bumping my thread. Have some updates. I saw Dr. Conway a few weeks ago and he diagnosed me with right-sided PN and also a right-sided sacral lipoma that could be irritating my medial cluneal nerve. At first he recommended I go through with PT and nerve blocks, but I voiced that I had already tried b...

I suppose it makes sense that something is impinging the vessels. Honestly this is probably more likely since I do still consistently have this "pinching" feeling on the right side of where I think alcock's canal is located.. deep inside my buttock, closer to the middle, but on the right s...

April, thank you for the reply. Yes the venogram was scheduled after I got the MRI results. I think the MRI suggests that the varices don't have any impact on the nerves. I don't have any actual nerve pain, just severe congestion feelings which is kind of like "pgad". My theory here is the...

Posting an update with a lot of good info. I got my MRN back from Dr. Potter in New York. FINDINGS: There is no presacral soft tissue mass. Postsurgical changes are noted in the inferior margin of the sacrum towards the right aspect of the S3 and S4 foramina, as seen on series 5 image 81. The lumbos...

Violet,

Just a quick question for you.. did you have piriformis syndrome and did your surgery address it at all?

Thanks!
