The literature I found on it was from the 1990's. I discussed this as a possiblity for me back in 2001... but that discussion was not with a surgeon. In all my travels with hundreds of clients and dozens of doctors, we've not talked about epiduroscopy. That does not mean that it's not a useful tool. I'm hoping to discover that in cases of unexplained nerve pain that they can go and potentially find places where there are tissues adhered to the nerves and free them up.

More later...
