Doctors don’t propose treatment solely for pain in this situation. They’ll refer you to a pain management specialist after washing their hands of you.

I had a neurologist tell me that it can be like trying to address electrical issues after a car accident. The pains are unreliable indicators, and the complication of the issues so unpredictable that no doctor wants to risk malpractice on a hunch.

I’m not talking about the back pain, but the brain fog and bowel symptoms.

He ended up getting surgery and diagnosis for the back issue. Not the rest though.

Yes. I have both of those symptoms as well as several others. Brain fog is a common symptom for people in persistent chronic pain. The nerve I damaged is the second one up from the root, and it services my lower intestines. Gastric issues are to be expected, and no gastroenterologist has offered me anything more than Mirilax once they hear I have genitofemoral neuropathy.
