    Pain Diary

    Thanks Dr. My pain management specialist believes that this is Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy caused by cautery damage to the genitofemoral nerve. He believes this is why the neurectomies have not worked in curing my pain. What is your feeling on this diagnosis? From what I’ve read, RSD usually affects a limb and not the groin/pelvis.

    My pain doc wants to implant a Dorsal Root Ganglion stimulator in me. Apparently these were just recently approved and have shown efficacy in helping patients with intractable groin pain from nerve damage.
