I don’t know you’d qualify based on your past surgery but it cant hurt in contacting Dr Gillespie. If any surgeon can help it’s him. Good luck. P.S. if you need any other advice private message me.

Hi Jeff,

I’d like to private message you but I don’t think I have that ability yet, since I just joined the Mayo Clinic Connect today and they said this was for anti spam reasons. Do you have any idea when I’ll be able to post private messages?

From what I can gather on the Web, Dr Gillespie has performed many hernia surgeries and has a very long experience with robotic laparoscopic surgeries, of which some were for ACNES.

I believe that in my case, regardless of how the nerve pain has come about, the solution in targeting one or more of the T nerves for a neurectomy is the same. In my case, it’s looking more like a T6 or maybe T7 than lower down.

With all of his varied experience, I would hope that he could help me, couldn’t he?

What’s the best way to try to get the conversation started with him?
