I can't even imagine. If I might ask - what were you told BEFORE the surgery regarding the outcome, likelihood of scar tissue forming, etc. How many surgeons did you consult with prior to doing it? Did you know right away it didn't work?

Conclusions: Durable long-term functional outcomes can be achieved predicated on a highly selective approach to the surgical management of patients with NTOS. A majority of operated patients will not require adjunctive procedures or chronic narcotic utilization. Patients who undergo surgery can expect to return to work with little or no functional impairment.

I would like to meet or talk to
ONE person who has had successful NTOS surgery. Just one. Not a few months, but long term. Would it be illegal or unethical for a doctor to put me in touch with someone he's had previously that was a "success." Just wondering what they constitute as a "success" anyway. Back to work but still in pain?? Or fully healed, or?
