Sorry I can't give you any info. The Dr. called today, we discussed surgery. He answered all my questions, when I asked if would release the PFCN, he said no. If I still have issues with the PFCN after surgery it will addressed at that time. He feels the PN is causing the PFCN problems. Sorry.

I would still give him a call. he's a wonderful doctor, very easy to talk to, maybe he can lead you in the right direction.

Thanks for the info spider.....have you visited Dr Conway or just talked on phone? For me its quite a distance to NH. But if he treats men then I will probably talk to him at some point. It good to know you seem pleased so far talking to him. Are you going to do the surgery? I would like to get fixed but the results from surgery seem so mixed. I wish Dr Hibner would see men even though he is so far away. Seems like many people here go there.

I did meet with him back in December. He asked a lot of questions, as expected, then did the exam. I had a list of questions I had messaged him about. That's why he called, to answer my questions. At this point my husband and I are discussing pros and cons of having the surgery. I'm very nervous about having surgery and the recovery is so long! I've tried everything else, so this is my last option. On the bright side for me is, all of this was caused by prolapse and hysterectomy surgery, he knows the location of the problem. The only major issue I can see, if the nerve is already permanently damaged. He will not be able to tell till he gets inside.

You have nothing to lose by contacting one of these doctors. Think about what choices you have left. If they can't help you, they may know someone who can.

I wish you the very best in finding relief.
