@mackaymouse - Never did I even think it could have been an allergy nor has this ever surfaced in any conversations I have had with any of the specialists. When I questioned removal of the sling, I was told that because the pain is only one sided on the left and not the right there was no reason to remove it especially since the incontinence issues resolved. In fact, the one urologist I saw after the left arm was removed suggested it shouldn’t have been completed after two others said that it had to be. He suggested that the issue stemmed from the psoas muscle issue yet since that consultation in July 2024, the psoas muscle has never been mentioned as a problem. I have been told that the issues with the hip bursa, coccyx, and SI joint disfunction is all secondary based on the primary source which to date no one can tell me what that is. The coccyx provides me with a lot of pain on a daily basis, especially during pelvic floor treatments where I experience extreme spasms down the leg. Funny enough, today, I was at the chiropractor, and she pushed down on one section between the groin and inner thigh, and I jumped and screamed. I went into my car after the appointment and literally cried out of frustration because I can’t understand how none of the imaging or scans show anything wrong when I know my body and I know there’s a problem. I don’t even feel anger or stress about it if that makes any sense, I just feel pure frustration. Thank you for the suggestion regarding the radio waves as TAPMI suggested that this was not a route we could go because since the blocks performed have not lasted more than three months, completing the radio waves would not help. My chiropractor has suggested recently that laser might be an option and is consulting with her colleague on this, based on my situation to see if this is something we can try. Do you mind sharing the name of the doctor in Surrey? Really appreciate you reaching out.

Dr. Darren Lazare in Surrey, B.C..
My surgery was done at the Jim Pattison Hospital in Surrey. He brought in a gynecologist, his top resident and there must have been 10 people and multiple computer screens in the operating theatre. He preformed 2 laparoscopies, 1 cystoscopy, 1 urethral dilation and removed all the remaining infected mesh. The pain clinic at the hospital is fabulous.
If you decide to come here, I have a spare room and can take you for your appts. Us sistas in pain need to stick together.
