I had the surgery over a year ago...didnt help me at all.  He says removed what he could but couldnt remove any around my bladder.  When it becomes inflamed it hits my sciatic nerve and I can barely walk.  Im just living with the pain.  I pretty much gave up on looking for help. Only Kaiser takes kaiser.  Outside doctors do not except it.  I can not afford to see a specialist outside of Kaiser.  i am just an optimistic person...and everyday that im in pain, I think...it could be worse.  Its not cancer, and im not dying...so thank GOD for that!
