Nerve De-Compression surgery for pain

Post by Duhawk »

Hello All,
It's been a long time since I've been on this site. I'm sorry about that. I know this is an extremely tight-knit community, full of information. I am hoping you will share some of your knowledge with me.
I was injured 15 years ago. I still have significant pain. I no longer take narcotics but do take Neurontin along with Suboxone/Bupenorphine.
I've been researching "nerve de-compression" surgery to clean up scar tissue around the injury. Has anyone tried this and seen the pain lessen?
Or is there anything anyone else is doing to reduce the pain?
I thank you for any information you can give me.
My best, Suzanne
