Dr. Conway success getting better??

Does anyone know if Dr Conway's success rate is getting better. In the past he was not mentioned as one of the better surgeons. I have had five pelvic floor operations and although doctor's tell me that I do not have a prolapse that is one of my worse symptoms--something is there and it is falling out. I saw Dr.Conway a couple of years ago and he said that he would give me a fifty percent chance of being fifty percent better. Those are not good odds and yet I have suffered every single day for seventeen years. Currently my nerves are so bad I am not sure I could do another surgery. I went to Mass General and had the worse nerve block ever. The doctor felt deep inside the vagina (I am post hysterectomy) and found two sore spots on either side of the upper vagina. Then she inserted what looked like a straw and found the spot again. through the straw like device she inserted a huge needle directly into the nerve and I have never experienced such severe pain in my life. It has caused a set back as the numbness in my foot is worse and my anxiety is through the roof. I just do not know what to do. I would love to know what people do when surgery fails. Is neuromodulation a good choice--and no one seems to have a pain pump. I am at a lost as I just do not have a life and I have tried so hard and endured such pain with the surgeries in the past. One last question will Dr.Potter accept a 3 tesler mri from a place like Mass Gen in Boston. Help me if you can Grammy
