Chronic pain years after hip replacement

I found an article by Mayo where their college of medicine and surgery has taught neurosurgeons how to do a peripheral nerve surgery with their fellowship in MN. This is the web site: college. Mayo.edu. Anyone else heard of this or checked it out?

I had anterior total hip 4 years ago on the Hana table and still have thigh tingling, pain down to the foot with calf pain, can't walk more than 1/2 block, My primary told me I have radiculopathy and another family medicine I saw told me I have neuropathy. I've seen orthopedics, neurologist and both walked out of the room without addressing the problem I have. When I checked the web there are lots of articles about Mayo perfecting this nerve surgery by attaching the ends or using a "patch" of a piece of nerve from another part of the body.

I will try anything to get rid of this disability and my life is in ruins. Please help.

You might want to begin by reaching out to the neurology department at the Mayo Clinic nearest you to find out what is offered:

Have you done this? Waits for neuro can be long, but perhaps they can find out how to put you in touch with a Mayo trained surgoen near you.
