Re: Anyone permanently cured from nonsurgical treatment?
And actually, based on the same criteria, there are still no "credible accounts" re. Potter's efficacy for that matter. I went to see her close to a year ago, then spread the word on the old board. Obviously many people have been to see her since, and although just about everyone describe...

Re: Anyone permanently cured from nonsurgical treatment?
. Many people are cured in time with physiotherapy and other conservative treatments without surgery but it can take years. I cannot find a single study that can show PT is an effective long term treatment for pelvic pain. I agree that people should try it and people should definitely not rush into...

Re: PT Questions
When do you say enough is enough? I mean I have seen 3 different PT's over the last year and I am not getting better (actually I just seem to get worse with time). It's just a lot of money in my opinion without much benefit (for me) anymore. I had a similar experience. I tried PT for years and saw ...

Re: 2011 study of the Wise-Anderson protocol
So far so good but what the abstract does not say but is reported incidentally in a video covering the Wise study on the Doctor's Channel is that people in average have improved from a pain of a 4/10 to a 3/10 in 6 months . The video reports that the improvement is sustained after 2 years (23 month...

Re: Surgery after 8 years
Filler is a strange one as his results have been peer reviewed and published with his studies showing impressive results. I guess what this shows is the weakness of Peer reviewed studies. Filler is clearly not getting the results he claims. Regarding the MRN I had one done but after speaking with ot...

Re: Double Blind Controlled Trials - Where are they?
When practitioners lay claim to such extraordinary success rates we as patients should apply more pressure for such practitioners to back up these claims with well designed studies. My feeling is that in order to say that, the patient would have to feel certain that he or she could wait until such ...

Re: Healing from Surgery
The reason he does not do the surgery bilaterally is so that the patient will not be rendered permanently incontinent. If he only messes up one side you will still retain urinary and bowel function. The surgeons are decompressing the nerve not cutting through it. The surgery would have to be perfor...
