Melodie was housebound with debilitating pain for years. Simple things were impossible. After seeing Dr. Tollestrup, she received a diagnosis and underwent surgery. Now, she's lost weight, has mental clarity, and is excited to kayak next summer. She has her life back.

01/10/2026

After 20 years of suffering, nerve surgery with Dr. Tim Tollestrup changed everything for Melodie. What he gave me was not only life-altering but life-saving.

01/09/2026

For 20 years, Melodie lived with relentless groin and lower back pain that doctors couldn’t explain — and treatments couldn’t fix.

She went from hiking, kayaking, cycling, and playing music…
to being unable to sit, stand, walk comfortably, or even come downstairs in her own home.

After years of misdiagnosis and thousands of dollars spent, Melodie finally found answers.

A comprehensive exam revealed superior cluneal neuralgia and meralgia paresthetica — nerve entrapments that had gone untreated for decades.

After two targeted peripheral nerve surgeries, Melodie has her life back:
✔ Active again
✔ Teaching again
✔ 25 lbs lost
✔ Mental clarity restored
✔ Hope restored

This is what happens when chronic pain is properly diagnosed.

Dr. Tollestrup explains his surgical approach to coccydynia. A small incision allows access to the sacral hiatus, where nerves are carefully disconnected and transposed into the sacral bone. This offers effective relief from tailbone pain.

12/19/2025

Tailbone pain is often blamed on the coccyx — but that’s not always the real problem.

Dr. Tim Tollestrup explains how injured coccygeal and sacral nerves can cause chronic coccydynia — and why removing the coccyx may create serious complications.

A nerve-based surgical approach can relieve pain without destabilizing the pelvis.
