Hello, Wendy, my husband had that same surgery a month a go and did not help so they are going to do the LFCN hopefully soon..he has not been working for about 5 months. No one knows this pain they look at you and see that you look fine but inside you are dying..I totally AGREE, keep on the doctors till you get releife because most only want to give you drugs for the rest of your life and that does not work for us...we have lives to live...
