Re: Can Alcock's Canal be properly decompressed laparoscopically?

Yes, of course! I had laproscopic surgery with Dr Bautrant and his surgical report indicated Alcocks canal was fully dialated and decompressed during surgery. I cannot recall his name, but the second was the surgeon in Portland Oregon that works at the Pearl Womens Clinic, it could be Dr Fogellson a...

Re: Can Alcock's Canal be properly decompressed laparoscopically?

Yes, it does. I would ask the surgeons you consult with; I consulted with several of them and the laproscopic surgeons universally told me yes.

Re: Success with redo decompression surgery

Have you considered surgery with a physician that does it laproscopic? It's a much easier recovery time and I chose laproscopic because of some claims I read in the literature about reduced scar tissue and better visualization of the fibrotic tissue with the laprascope. When I consulted with Dr Hibn...

Post Op 5 days

Hello! May I ask your opinions on my day 5 post pudendal nerve decompression using the laproscopic method in France? I had my left side done and woke up feeling fine. I was pretty numb and while I felt pain where the ports were for the laprascope, I didn't feel much in the pudendal canal. About day ...

Pelvic and/or SI joint instability post surgery

Has anyone had SI joint or pelvic instability post laproscopic decompression surgery after having the SS ligament cut? I am scheduled for surgery in July and want to have all the information on this first. It seems that of the 3 doctors who perform this that I consulted with, none were able to point...

Re: Sciatica pain after PN block

After the nerve block, I went to see my urologist with many concerns about my pain and new symptoms, but she denied seeing me in the future. She said that she is Off of her limits. It was very shocking for me. I found a very good urologist, K. Peters, through this site, who has worked with PN patie...

Re: Sciatica pain after PN block

Thank you for letting me know! I do that too plus very little massage on this area. Sometimes I feel relieved; sometimes it irritates me more. How is your sitting pain? Do you feel better? I got a call from a hospital to schedule another nerve block, and I cannot make a decision about it. I'm too s...

Re: Sciatica pain after PN block

Camelote- I just talked with Dr Hibner and he said that it likely irritated the piraformis muscle. I got some dry needling and mild stretching and it helped for several hours. He said he can botox that muscle if it won't stop spasming.
I'm definitely not doing another one!

Re: Sciatica pain after PN block

Hi! Yes, he used an X-ray to do it. I'm scared bec ause it isn't going away and the doctor is not calling back. I'm thinking it just irritated the wrong nerve too. That being said, the hospital I go to is a teaching hospital and the residents to all of the procedures. So maybe it's not the most accu...

Sciatica pain after PN block

I had a pudendal nerve block with steroid about 3 weeks ago. Starting at day three I began having sciatica down my leg. It goes from my glutes to my foot. The block only worked on one side, but took the symptoms on that side away. I've also had tailbone pain and just a weak feeling in my legs like I...
