Many neuropathy issues, so why so few doctors who know?

I don't know if it would have helped, but did any of your surgeon/s use a nerve monitoring service during the surgery?

I don't think so. They never mentioned it to me. Thanks for pointing this out since Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is totally new to me. It looks like it's more commonly used for complex spine surgery, but not the more routine ones. If I would have known about this in advance, I would have requested it for the first surgery and demanded it for the second surgery because of my conjoined root nerves and having them damaged by the first surgery. I hope others reading this will consider requesting before surgery. Should be standard in my opinion. (I would gladly pay extra for it if needed.)
