Wife's piriformis release surgery was done today!

Could someone tell me where Dr. Yue is located? I cannot locate him on Google. My wife has piriformis problems also. Probably not ready for surgery yet, but she has tried about everything over the past 5 years. She has foot, knee, piriformis problems that are possibly all interrelated.

Thanks.

Because the sciatica was so bad for so long, the longer road now begins of getting her mobility and conditioning back. But the sense of relief is profound. NOTE: we were very sure of the pain source as piriformis before surgery, by two positive indications by lidocaine blocks, one 5 years ago, one a month before surgery. Dr. Yue required the current one. We are very happy.

Mike-

I made my appointment with Dr. Yue today - I'll travel up to Connecticut in 3 weeks for a 23 January appointment. I'm so happy to hear that your wife is now free of sciatic pain - I'm hoping for the same. Was the procedure outpatient? How frequently were follow-ups required. Trying to figure the logistics of traveling from Alexandria VA. At least I'll be able to get good pizza in New Haven!
All the best to your wife and you-
