I was told to give up with having surgeries because I just creating more scar tissue that would create more problems later on.

Now - it's later on.

After surviving by practicing Acceptance for 12 years, financial stress has my pain back to unbearable levels.

Over the years, there was modest improvement, although I had to constantly remind myself to think back several years to help myself see that.

The best thing was - it didn't get worse. THAT was reassuring and gave me something to be grateful for!

I'm finally ready to have decompression surgery. I just have to do battle with Kaiser to get them to refer me out of network. I was surprised to read so many here got their insurance to pay for decompression surgery. It seems most insurers consider it to be experimental.

I may have to wait until January and change insurers.

I've tried finding diagnosis and treatment codes doctors and patients have used to get insurers to pay. I really need help with that. Please PM me if you know successful codes - and post here too, for others.

If you have PNE surgery, there are gliding exercises you can do post-op that may help prevent scar tissue from forming. https://www.pudendalhope.info/approved- ... gExercises
But you are right, it can be a concern so it would be something to ask the surgeon about prior to surgery.
