He is a nero/orthopedic surgeon. Not sure if I can post his name, been kicked off sites for doing that. But his name is Dr. Louis Keppler. He is at St. Vincent Hosptial in Cleveland. I post that because there is so few surgeons that will do the surgery.
I am 6 months post op. I did develop a hematoma after surgery which made recovery tougher. Also I still have some achey pain, but is closer to the scar. I am told this is typical achey scar pain that lasts for up to a year post op. It only bothers me when the weather changes are bad. No more siactic pain traveling down my leg. So I am still working my way through recovery, but way better than before. I can SIT so much longer and stand longer to than before surgery. They said my muscle was strangulating my siactic nerve and it would have never let loose, becuase I had it for 8 yrs, there was scar tissue in the muscle. My best advise is if you find a surgeon, and this is truly your problem, get it fixed. He told me because I was so bad for so long, that is affecting my healing time. There is a surgeon in Texas, Nashville, CA that also do this surgery. There is one at the Cleveland Clinic, but I was told by a doctor that my surgeon had more experience so I went with him.
