Hello @susanders
I had my surgery April 28th of 2022. Best day of my life so far. I had spent 3 years with ACNES. Like you, injections, tests and so on. I was told many times that this was a psychological issue as well. From the moment I woke up from my surgery I have not had any nerve pain what so ever. Dr. Gillespie and the team at St. Joseph's do exceptional work. I highly recommend you follow this route. It cost me $26,000 CAD as I had no insurance and I would do it all over again. I also would suggest physiotherapy as having ACNES that long, your body will need to recover. That will take a little longer, of course.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery,
Ben

Hello @benacnes
That is great news! I am thrilled for your successful surgery.

Can you please clarify what you mean by a body needing to recover and needing physiotherapy? What is your experience with this post-op?

Thank you,
Susan
