I haven't had the decompression surgery but I read a lot about it and the different kinds and where they do it ...sometimes results are great ...other times it does nothing or it can make it worse and exacerbate things ...it seems most cases people have to get an MRN which is an MRI of the nerves to see exactly where the nerve is entrapped. I know if you are in the UK a lot of people go over to the Nantes France clinic.... And the US here I know doctor hibner does it in Phx,Arizona but there are other states where it is done to o.most of the time they also seem to give a pudendal nerve block to see if it stops the pain which proves that that is the cause... A good website to speak to more people about it is Prudental hope.com

Dr Hibner is my doctor. He said there is no mri that can tell for sure if the nerve is impinged. So it’s just a risk. I had the pudendal block and only get a little very short term relief. I just wanted to hear about the recovery people have had. Thanks for answering.
