Patient Success Story: Anne’s Journey from Chronic Back Pain to Healing

🔍 Diagnosed with Superior Cluneal Nerve Entrapment

Treated by Dr. Tim Tollestrup, Pain-Focused Peripheral Nerve Surgeon – Las Vegas, NV


“It felt like someone had skinned my back…”

For years, Anne from Los Angeles suffered from excruciating burning and tingling pain in her lower back, glutes, and outer hips. The pain was relentless—stabbing, electric, and completely life-altering.

She saw dozens of doctors. None could explain her symptoms. Most didn’t even recognize the Superior Cluneal Nerve, let alone know how to treat it.

“I went to every specialist you can imagine. I kept hearing the same thing: ‘We don’t know what’s causing this.’ I felt invisible.”


🔎 The Turning Point: A Late-Night YouTube Search

One night, desperate and out of options, Anne searched YouTube for “Superior Cluneal Nerve success story.” To her surprise, she found a patient video about Dr. Tim Tollestrup—a surgeon in Las Vegas who specializes in pain-focused peripheral nerve surgery.

“The moment I watched that video, something inside me said, ‘This is real. This is your answer.’”

Anne called the office the next morning and booked a consultation.


👨‍⚕️ Meeting Dr. Tollestrup

From the moment Anne walked into Dr. Tollestrup’s office, she felt heard.

“He truly listened. He didn’t just treat me like another case—he explained everything he knew about this nerve and how my symptoms matched perfectly.”

Dr. Tollestrup diagnosed her with Superior Cluneal Nerve Entrapment, a condition caused by irritation or compression of small nerves that exit the lower spine and travel across the top of the pelvis.


✂️ Life-Changing Surgery

Anne underwent outpatient peripheral nerve surgery to decompress the affected nerves.

“When I woke up from surgery, it was the first time in years I didn’t feel that  constant stabbing, shooting and burning pain. It was a moment I’ll never forget.”


💬 Life After Pain

Today, Anne walks longer distances. She’s reconnected with her family. Her trust in doctors has been restored.

“Dr. Tollestrup gave me my life back. He’s not only a brilliant surgeon—he’s a compassionate human being who thinks outside the box. I can’t recommend him enough.”
