What did they do when you went to emergency room (i.e. about infection and new stitches, etc)? How are you feeling now? Did Dr. Hibner's pudendal nerve decompression surgery ultimately work - are you feeling no pain now?


it was a week after i got back to texas after surgery and hibner group just acted like just leave me to die after the worse infection i can ever imagine... i thought infections were a thing and not like the Alien movie when the damn scar finally burst like a damn dam and just the blood and puss almost freaking killed me when it knocked me out....

his pne was my second total fail pudendal surgery.... they just abandoned me after the surgery and they got their money...

my pne is a monster still... a pump could keep u alive until u can get a lucky roll dice pne surgery... that is what surgeries are... if ur entrapment is a type that can be decompressed and a doctor that is lucky to cut in the spots that ur true entrampment is and really matters....

if u go with hibner group i wish u the opposite of my experience.... I had to wait 6 months for my appointment with him and then 8 months for the surgery that did nothing and almost killed me...... pain pump with pain meds is worth getting... and ask for prialt to see how much pain it can block... with Insurace i hope u have.... cause prialt is expensive

My pain is awful too, John Carter. I am sorry for your experiences with surgery. I think a lot of doctors hesitate to implant pain pumps in PN patients due to the risks of having one at the spine. I wish there was a good answer for us.

Take care,

PN started 2004 from fall. Surgery with Filler Nov. 2006, Dr. Campbell April 2007. Pain decreased by 85% in 2008 (rectal and sitting pain resolved completely), pain returned in 12/13. Pain reduced significantly beginning around 11/23.
