Re: Surgery after 8 years
In referance to posts made earlier on in this thread I see Jim11 has almost acknowledged he made false and libelous claims against Dr Filler. In a post on the CPPS forum he states Just an edit of my previous post. The response of the surgeon to the fellow bedridden I noted ("get a job") ma...

Re: A critical review of myofascial/trigger point treatment
Charlie, I do not agree with you regarding medical students not being taught about trigger points. I have three pain specialists I see on a regular basis, one treats me for my pelvic pain, one treats me for the RSD in my legs and one for my TMJ, two work out of medical schools, I might add in total...

Re: A critical review of myofascial/trigger point treatment
Charlie, p.s. I actually appreciate your time and thoughtfulness. Cora Your welcome Cora. You articulate well what pelvic pain patients go through. In a way it was quite sad to read as you were such an active person before you got this. I was the same and did a huge amount of sport when I was young...

Re: Return PT appointment today
After the long and thought provoking discussion i was back at PT today for the first time in over a year. My husband joins me and so we get into some good geeky medical discussions with the PT. I brought up concerns about publishing and she has the very same concerns and says that there are no stud...

Re: A critical review of myofascial/trigger point treatment
Cora I hope you don't mind but I was reading your blog. You have posted it on your profile. It's a well written blog and I can relate to what you have been through. When I read the your story section I noticed this sentence. I have quoted it below. Again I hope you do not mind and if you would like ...

Re: A critical review of myofascial/trigger point treatment
Well, you got me thinking now that they do have to substantiate more, publish more, follow-up more and I have even made those suggestions long ago. as it leads to all this guessing and not really knowing other than through personal experience or anecdotal from the pt's. I agree Thanks for respondin...

Re: A critical review of myofascial/trigger point treatment
Cora, I'm glad we agree on something. I notice in your signature you take MS Contin ( Morphine). You also take Cymbalta a drug indicated for the management of peripheral neuropathic pain. How much success do you credit to taking these medications as compared to the Physical therapy? Your signature w...

Re: A critical review of myofascial/trigger point treatment
Cora, It's horrible having chronic pain and I sincerely wish you all the best with your treatment and am not trying to deny your experience. The reason I asked about the form is to question whether PT's are tracking their results. As you have said you received no form. If no effort is made to track ...

Re: A critical review of myofascial/trigger point treatment
I feel like you are trying to have a fight rather than a discussion. All I have done is raise questions. You have to ask questions in a debate. What I am saying is that I am yet to meet a person who has seen top pelvic floor PT's and who is now cured and not receiving treatment. I have never once s...

Re: A critical review of myofascial/trigger point treatment
There are no other randomized studies. This is the only one we have and all we have to currently base a decision on. We have to accept that this is an unproven treatment approach. Even Dr Mary Pat Fitzgerald would have to accept that. My point is this. The people who are claiming PT has worked are a...
