Has ANYONE been helped by Pelvic Varices Surgery?

Post by beverley »

I know a lot of us have had Pelvic Varices show up on the Potter MRI and as i am running out of possible causes for my PN -- i am considering pursuing my Pelvic Varices as a cause of pain. I have yet to hear of ANYONE who had pain relief from this surgery although my Pelvic pain specialist says she has patients who have had the surgery and have gotten better. Until i talk to them i don't believe it. Anyway -- anyone who can post their experiences both good and bad would be helpful.

I had a bilateral pelvic vein embolization done. Zero pain relief, a pelvis full of coils, took 2 hours in the OR and plenty of radiation to place coils. Now I cannot get a good MRN scan of my pelvis as I have too many coils. My last hip doctor was not impressed with the coils either. I have heard from the doctor that did my coils that it did help some woman, but I am certainly not one of them unfortunately. I understand wanting to try all avenues other than PN surgery. I wish I had a better outcome to share with you.
