Re-entrapment
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2018 12:00 am
Hi all, this is basically, a re-entrapment rehash of what I discussed in my earlier post but with more information and I would like to invite opinions from more people. I was originalmy injured from a total hysterectomy in 2017 and was later diagnosed with a pelvic-gastric nerve entrapment by Dr. Castellanos at St. Joe's in Phoenix. I had my surgery in June of 2018 and can honesty say I woke up in recovery with no pain at all and it was bliss. About a week later I started having severe pain in a completemy new place - the pudenda, as well as deep internal pain- it felt like someone was stabbing me all the way to my cervix ( if I still had one). Dr. Castellanos did an examination and told me not to worry, that this was completely normal and I was experiencing "post- surgical muscle spasms" and that doing PT for a few months would alleviate the pain. He also explained that the entire pelbic region had muscle memory and was reacti g to the initial injury. I should also mention that all my original symptoms are back- difficulty in sitting driving, as well as needi g, a butt- lpad of pain medicine. I am very committed to the PT I am doing and will do anything to get better, but what do you all think? Is it really "muscle spasms" or is he giving me a line of BS and do I have a re-entrapment? BTW, surgery in June was my fifth pelvic surgery and along with definite entrapment there was significant scar tissue. Thanks for help.
