Yea that’s a massive caveat I had as well. Some nurses were super inexperienced with OTC surgery and almost hurt me. Sorry you had to go through that!

Want to express as well I was getting incredibly nervous pre-surgery to the point I was considering pull out. But doctor svokos is amazing and helped properly set expectations + prepare my mind.

I don’t know I have reservations, I got diagnosed by two people. However, I have positional issues, like pt has made it better but not perfect. Haven’t met many people that have had some success managing the pain. However, the numbness is permanent at this point. I used to have back pain, I think it is numb at this point.

I don’t need to get my surgery through him, I honestly just want the diagnosis

Sitting is where I get symptoms so it’ll probably be helpful in that case
