Ali,
That's exactly it. If she can see exactly where you are entrapped she could have told you the TIR surgery wouldn't work for you. And I'm truly sorry for that. It must be so hard to think of going through surgery again but if you're bad off maybe you are happy to go under the knife (or laser) again. Not exactly happy but more than willing!
But what if a person didn't have to do all that and all you had to do is have an MRI with Dr. Potter. What if she had been able to do an MRI on you BEFORE you had seen Dr. Bautrant?

Hi Kate,
It would have saved me at least US $50,000 which I spent in a span of two and a half year on conservative treatments and Dr. Bautrant's surgery as well as my job and the mental agony that I had to endure during this time just like so many of us on this forum who have lost their fortunes.
However,I wouldn't like to blame Dr. Bautrant too much,because I am sure that he did his best and TIR surgical approach has it's limitations.It was a calculated risk that I took because I was well aware that if I was entrappped in the Sacrotuberous ligament,he wouldn't be able to help me and I was 90% certain that I was entrapped in the Alcock's Canal.Although,Dr. Bautrant could have addressed the entrapment in the Alcock's Canal on my right side which he dismissed as a myofascial reaction from the left side.
At least the surgery helped me somewhat with my urinary stress and E.D and he at least opened the blockage of the Pudedal artery in the Pudendal Canal.This was confirmed by doctor's Kim Angiogram of the Pudendal artery.Although,my sitting became worse and is still to reach the pre-surgical level and the rest of the symptoms remain the same.
At least I am also aware thanks to Dr. Potter's MRI,that I have issues with my Penile Suspensory ligament and my dorsal nerve has been comprised to a certain extent which Dr. Hibner will try to address in his surgery.
Dr. Hibner has told me to wait for the Penile suspensory ligament surgery and to proceed with it after my PNE surgery.
Best Regards,
Ali
