My doctors have no idea what these are and do not think that I have Endo, but are stumped as to what it actually is. Lab says the cysts are not cancerous.

The cysts are on my peritoneum everywhere, not just the cul-de-sac. They removed hundreds from the cul-de-sac and removed my appendix, but left the rest of the cysts in place because they simply hadn’t be prepared to deal with such an extensive problem and it is better to deal with something when you know what it is. And they think that even if they took them all out, the cysts would just come back.

That aside, I’m still in a large amount of pain. I had considered asking my doctor about cutting nerves so that if I do have endo, I don’t have to live my life in crushing pain. Since this started months ago, I’ve stopped living so many aspects of my life. Having read your article, I think I’ll wait on cutting nerves because of the potential side effects.

But I do have a question. 6 years ago I had real ovarian cysts removed and after the surgery, my skin between my belly button and pelvis,… lost the ability to sense that it was being touched and heat and cold. I was told that this meant that some nerves had been cut and they would regrow. Feeling did come back, but not to the same extent it existed before. With this second surgery, feeling is gone again.

But my question is… will the nerves cut in PSN eventually grow back?
