For those of you who had PNE surgery and had your sacrotuberous ligament replaced, do you still have ongoing pain? Do you have issues with your tailbone moving from one side to the other?

Does anyone know if there is an option to get the sacrotuberous ligament surgically reattached - if you had surgery prior to the point they started replacing it? Has anyone gone back in for this surgical procedure?

I don't know the answer to your question but you might find an article abstract interesting if you go to the following link on pubmed:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27828983
According to this study, the ST ligament heals itself, even if not repaired, and it heals thicker than before. I'm not sure from the article what type of division is made in the STL in the subjects who were followed in the study but it says they had the TG approach. Also, I'm not sure what the significance is of the ligament being thicker than before and whether it being thicker might cause the nerve to become re-entrapped.
