I had surgery with Dr. Redwine 4 weeks ago and he added the Presacral
Neurectomy. He didn't discuss specific side effects related to that
procedure and said it wouldn't hurt to do it since I've been in chronic
pain for 3 years. I was up for anything being that Redwine is pretty
much the specialist to see. So far I haven't had any side effects
related to it.
