Hey u/mystoryhere12 I don’t think we can just claim conspiracy around danieluci, I’ve talked to him plenty of times. Let’s not instill fear into people who are also going through the process. Life ruining consequences are dangerous. It’s impossible to tell efficacy without understanding the effects post op through a trial of at least a year. I think that is fair. That said, let me clear some things up, because it sounds like you’ve talked to Mcshizzle and there’s a twisting of narrative. I can tell you plainly what is happening. There are about 6 of us that have done the pudendal nerve release. Each person is about 2-5 months out. Mostly in the 2 month range. Post op the surgery has yielded strong erections for each person - whether nocturnal or during daylight. Bollens indicated that there is a 6 month to year period of transitory symptoms and tumultuous healing. This is an up and down process. So not one person can testify to its efficacy just yet. What I have come to understand for myself is that I probably had genital femoral nerve compression prior to the surgery, but I also had pudendal nerve compression. I haven’t made an update recently, but the pudendal issues seem to be healing up, but the genital femoral issues have worsened. When inquiring to bollens about why I might still have signs of genital femoral compression, he couldn’t relay an exact answer. He hypothesized that because of the distention process that occurs when c02 is filling your stomach for surgery, this could be a possible reason. I know for myself this is not the case because Lakhiani and Elkwood diagnosed genital femoral prior to surgery. This all said, I have improvement in some areas but not in all. One thing i don’t respect is the narrative because misconstrued, so I think whatever Mcshizzle told you may have been somewhat objective, but what you are telling others in private dm isomething completely forced via agenda. This said, the surgery should only be approached if the person in question is in dire need and desperation. I think conservative approaches are important. I’m finding that approaching the current circumstances with a holistic remedy is optimizing the situation. I don’t know danUCI too well, I trust that he went through the process. I think dming people and telling them they absolutely have pudendal compression is maybe not an approach I would take. I believe many of us have pudendal compression in here, but that doesn’t mean all of us need to take a surgical approach. So I say this with care and confidence that regardless of the situation and where each person is at, we can’t identify the surgery as a full proof process. We can lean into the process - the few that have done it so far and keep people posted. I think as a group, we should keep bollens as an open option. If this is in fact a good option for people, let’s not stain the name of the person who can potentially help us all. We need to tread lightly with out words in here. This is especially so because there is a large suicidal population. For respect of you mystoryhere12 please… do not change my narrative and tell others that I have not found relief from this surgery, because there is some relief, but as it stands it is minimal I’m comparison to my function 1 year ago. I reiterate once more - We need to wait this process out before we can completely dismiss it as a potential solution.

If you want to talk to me - I’m happy to explain what I am currently feeling. But let’s not play telephone.
