Hi!

How are you? My doctors think that I have scar tissue in my sciatic nerve which might be causing my RSD, or at least irritating my nerve too much. I had an injury to my leg a long time ago and it never healed fully. PRP worked a bit but I still get so much worse when I move my leg. That's why my doctors and I think I might have scar tissue there and that the sciatic nerve is not gliding smoothly within the nerve sheath.

My doctor suggested I get hydrosection, which I think other doctors call neurolysis. In the procedure the doctor inserts a watery substance (I don't know what exactly) next to the nerve to somehow make more space for the nerve and to separate it from the scar tisssue.

I really want to do this, but I wonder if this could do more damage than good. My nerve is extremely sensitive, I can hardly stretch my leg or even flex my foot for too long. Anything that stretches my nerve is potentially very panful and damaging. So it makes a lot of sense that I have scar tissue. But at the same time I wonder if the increased pressure resulting from the "water" could further make it all more painful.

Does anyone have info on this type of procedure? Have you had it done? Did it help you? Any info is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reading my post. I hope you are doing very well and having a good day today!
