I'm hoping someone can help me with this. My mom had an assist embedded on her ovary and Dr. Brodie had to surgically remove it but when she did she had cut two nerves one by the pubic bone and another by the hip I was wondering if anyone could email me or reply to this message so I can help my mom. She's had cries. nerve blocks, acupunture and tons of different perscriptions but nothing helps. If anyone out there can recommend anything at all a doctor a perscription they would be our guardian angel. Please help me get my mom's life back. Robin. If you need to contact me my email address is ryounker@mail.onlinesupport.com or robinyounker@hotmail.com
