Hi Kellie!
I had the LUNA (laparoscopic uterosacral nerve ablation) done on October
8th and it didn't do anything for me. But hey... the risks are very
minimal and I know it does help in some cases so it was definitely worth
a try. I sure hope it works for you though!! Good luck and I wish you a
speedy recovery!!
Take care,
Angie

>>Hi, I have posted a few times and thanks everyone for your responses. I just had surgery last Thursday to cut my uterosacrel ligaments. I also had endo removed from various spots. I am just wondering if any of you have had this done and if it helped with pain. My doctor seems to think this will help and I trust him with my life so I hope he is right. Any comments would be appreciated.
