Kirsten, boy, are you right! I am in therapy now for the guilt I have of the effects this has had on everyone in my life. As if the stress if the pain wasn't enough!

Welcome Kirsten, I just wanted to chime in about what you mentioned about pain and how it affects not only us, but everyone around us. I know that it for sure has affected my family. It is very sad that learning to live with pain does because the new normal, but unfortunately, when you are in pain, you have to make the adjustment of learning to cope and do whatever is necessary to feel better. Again, welcome and please keep us posted on your upcoming surgery.

It's definitely happening this Friday. I will keep you all posted. And as soon as I get a chance, I will properly introduce myself, too, lol. That, in and of itself, is a long story.

I would highly recommend using Dr. Guyuron if you have any way of getting out to Ohio. We live in New Jersey and went to see the doctor in New Jersey who was trained by Dr. G, and the difference in expertise between the two is quite substantial. We had to drive to Ohio several times before everything was resolved (7 hours in the car), but most of the doctors he trained only perform the initial surgery on (up to) 4 trigger sites on each side. After completing the first surgery, that's the end of the road for most of these doctors. Dr. G has several options to further treatment if you are not getting sufficient relief. Take a look at my post from the below link for the full story as it pertains to my wife's surgery. It is worth the extra investment (trust me, it's not like we can afford to keep taking trips out there) to take the trip to Ohio if you are truly dedicated to getting 100% relief.

HI! I hope you are still doing well after your surgery. I have an appointment with Dr. Lee Dellon of the Dellon Institute in MD in a few weeks. Do you know of anyone who has seen him and/or had the nerve decompression surgery done by him?

He doesn't accept insurance, and my insurance will not reimburse me for the consult or surgery. Just interested in seeing if any members have used this practice. Thanks!!
