I had the same procedure done in late July 04 .I also had a vesc done as well. I have 4 children and did not want any more so that was not an issue. The issue was the pain and discomfort that the the DR told me would go away. I have been back to him because of the pain and he said that it will take time. I am begining to doubt that though.
He had also told me that it was a simple procedure (proabably to him )and I would have no pain. I had to sign a general basic form stating that there was no gauruntees. He is or is considered the best UR in the area so I felt the most comfortable with him .. and the fact that I have no insurance made it more difficult to see others.
Im not sure if I want to go back to him to tell him the oain is still there and have him tell me "time"

I beleive that this whole thing resulted form an injury .... maybe not ? who knows .... I have not begun the herbal remedies mentioned here but am seriously contemplating it

I would actaully love to get some of more than the $4000 that I caughed up out of my own pocket for this whole thing back
