SI fixation / fusion surgery
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 1:42 am
Has anyone with PN had SI joint fusion or fixation surgery?
If so, what were the results?
I have already had pudendal nerve release surgery and 8 years later have developed a horrific case of SI joint dysfunction. It is so bad I am bedridden with it.
I don't know what to do. I believe that the instability may be bad enough that it cannot be conservatively corrected.
I have already had 3 sessions of prolotherapy that did nothing.
Should I consider SI fixation/fusion? I certainly don't WANT that surgery. But u also don't want to be bedridden for the rest of my life either.
I still have PN, too. In the form of bad rectal pain.
Ideas. Suggestions. Comments. Prayers?
