    I wish more drs. did this surgery. I live in an area where there are several medical centers and teaching hospitals. There are SO many doctors in every discipline you might need available...EXCEPT I can't find a dr. who does this surgery, & I have asked pain drs, my orthopedist, PTs, and neurosurgeons if they know anyone who does this surgery. They don't. It's incredibly frustrating. I have piriformis syndrome & have not had success from injections or PT.

I pray that one day, I will get back to LIFE 😢. I cannot even allow my husband to touch me 😢. I need help.

    I’m recently having shooting pains in my abdominal skin. It’s shocking! So intense and painful! Prior to this, for the last 4 weeks or more I am having a crampy type pain all around the right side and around into my back. I get sudden, painful spasms as well. The only relief I can find is hot water baths. Once out of the tub, it all comes back. I go from my recliner to my bed to the bath and rotate this cycle all day and night. I manage to sleep due to exhaustion but not for enough hours and always wake due to intense pain. Any ideas?

    I had a very bad experience with a surgeon in Papillion/NE (Dr. Aguila) who does the same type of surgeries as this surgeon - eleven months after my surgery for post herpetic neuralgia pain, I'm in more pain than before the surgery. As part of patients' rights, he had an obligation to explain to me all the risks of the proposed surgery - he didn't do it in my case. Before the surgery, his prep nurse and his anesthesiologist both promised that he would come to see me in the prep room on the day of the surgery and that he'll go with me over the details of my surgery and answer all my questions. He didn't show up. He also didn't show up to check on me after the surgery. The anesthesiologist also didn't show up after the surgery to check on me, even though he kept me for six hours under with Ketamine (he also didn't bother to explain the risks of anesthesia). Right after I woke up in the recovery room, I was told to dress and leave the hospital (Papillion Family Hospital owned by Family Hospital Systems/TX). The surgical team took pictures of me during the surgery, without my consent. All this for twenty thousand dollars in cash, since this surgeon doesn't accept any insurance.
