Health Organization for Pudendal Education

Paulette, If you can afford it, I agree it might be advantageous to see Dr. Martin, even if you don't pursue surgery with him. Like I said, I don't doubt his surgical abilities. He is THE arthroscopic orthopedic surgeon in this region, although it seems he has only done hip arthroscopy and piriformi...

Paulette, So, Dr. Martin plans to only decompress the pudendal nerve by cutting away at the obturator muscle? While I'm sure this is a feasible idea, and I don't doubt his sciatic decompression experience, what if the SS or ST ligaments are part of your problem? Will he be able to see this endoscopi...

Hi Lernica, I'm one of the hip pain people. My right hip has bothered me since my teen years, so for about a decade or more. I first remember it hurting in eighth grade while playing competitive tennis! Over the years, I've been diagnosed with several things: IT band syndrome, bursitis, weak adducto...

Hey Emily, I just had a pelvic laparoscopy last month to clean out endometriosis and adhesions. I had the surgery on a Wednesday and returned to work the following Tuesday. I felt completely 100% normal at two weeks post surgery. I can't comment on long term pain relief yet, but I wanted to let you ...

Check out Julie Sarton. I've heard only the best about her from my pelvic pain friends around the country.

When walking on the treadmill, be sure to not program an incline. Have you tried swimming? Good luck.

My eldest got into medical school! She'll be starting at a very reputable Ontario school in the fall. I'm so proud and happy for her. She worked very very hard for it over the past four years in a difficult B. Sc. program. So there's at least one more PN-aware doctor coming up in the ranks! This is...

Its not so bad for you. How about living with PN as a 25 year old who will probably never get to have a family or a wife now because of the penile pain. At least you got to live your life somewhat. Not that im downplaying your case, but I just woke up one day and this pain appeared out of nowhere, ...

Hiya Faith, I took Neurontin for about three months. I was also on Baclofen and Zanaflex at that time, but whoa did I have brain fog! I would be standing in front of my students lecturing and just completely lose my words. I wouldn't be able to finish sentences! Actually, those months are pretty muc...

A friend shared this with me the other day. It's very encouraging, and I'm thankful the doc took the time to write and send this letter.
