Hello,
I have nerve damage from the shingles and have been living in agony since 2018. As much as it's going to hurt, I am going to see yet another doctor whose speciality is the nerves and pain. I'm in California and the doctor is in Nebraska. I'm only getting blocks to see if I'm a candidate for a neurectomy. I know I read about other surgeries he does and I believe they were writing about what you have. If you can give me a name of what you have I can get some literature while I am there. This is the last thing I can try. I had a spinal chord stimulator, unfortunately it did not work for me. Thank you.

I’m curious about the thought of a neurectomy. My concern is that the pudendal nerve includes the rectal branch and bladder is involved. So, if they burn the nerve, what about the possibility of incontinence?
