I've been getting numerous e-mails from individuals asking for an update regarding my denervation (sorry guys, I've been away for awhile but I'll answer you all).

The denervations (both sides) healed up fine, yes it takes a while but it eventually heals up.

I had absolutely no pain for approximately 6-8 months after however, unfortunetly recently some of the pain has returned. Not nearly as severe (I'm able to do everything physically that I used to do before the pain started) but still a bit none the less. The pain now is limited to a very small spot (1-2mm) which makes me think that maybe one or two nerves survived.

I'm still glad I had the surgery, it reduced the pain drastically, although in my case, not completely.
