Pudendal Nerve Entrapment/Neuropathy/Damage

I developed pudendal and obturator nerve entrapment on one side of the vagina immediately after my hysterectomy. It too a few years and doctors to finally find an ob/gyn specialist who operates to relieve the entrapment: Dr.Mark Conway, Merrimac, New Hampshire. He is one of only several doctors in the USA who specializes in this area. I had two surgeries over two years and have gone from an "8" level pain to a "3" in just one tiny area. I apply lidocaine cream every night to this small area to make it less sensitive. This doctor was my gift!! I still see him every year.

Does anyone at Mayo Clinic Rochester specialize in obturator neuropathy? Or have the expertise to diagnose hip neuropathy due to nerves of the sacral plexus or muscle spasm affecting such nerves? Any help would be great. Have been using the pain clinic and they are nice and try to be helpful but I don’t get the impression they are the right team to address this at mayo as much as I like them.

Are you still feeling better after surgery with Dr Conway? Was recovery difficult?
