Guest guest Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Martha is truly a sweet lady. She came out to the hospital in Chicago two different times to visit me when I had my revision in 2007. It was so nice to see a friendly face and know that someone there really understood what I was going through. She was just starting looking into the interventional radiologist at that time. I'm happy to hear that she found positive results with it. Hopefully at some point she could find time to update the group. I'd love to hear from her again! > > Hi Andy & , > > I dont know if it will help at all...and you probably already have followed this story, but Martha in Chicago had good luck using and interventional radiologist, along with a pain doctor, breaking up scar tissue that was entraping her subcluneal nerve and making walkling and moving very painful. > > Its a few years ago, but here is the post detailing what she told me they were doing to her: #19478. You can google Dr...I think he is out in CA, but clearly is leading the pack with this stuff. > > Obviously I am not a doctor, but my gut tells me that scar tissue very well might be to blame for continuing pain following revision after what Martha explained to me. In her case, she was feeling very good in all areas, SI included, following revision....and then had a big uptick around 5-6 months post op....and if I remember correctly, Dr told her that was classic scar tissue forming. Anyway....before I had the grueling surgery of rod removal...I would at least see if there is something to this. > > I am sure Martha will correspond with you....let me know and Ill get in touch with her...I dont think she is reading here regularly anymore. > > Take Care, Cam > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
