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.

@cheryl1468 A suggestion I could make would be to see a physical therapist for an evaluation who also does myofascial release work. You may or may not need a doctor's script for that depending on your state's rules. MFR can help these types of problems. Here are a couple links that explain the issues with entrapment of the lumbar plexus and our discussion on MFR where you can find lots of links and a video of John Barnes (the guy who developed his methods for stretching fascia) who is treating a patient. You can find a provider search on the MFR website.

I have pudendal neuropathy and find accupuncture helps with the pain buts it needs lots of sessions so expensive
