Health Organization for Pudendal Education

Janet, you are so awesome for scanning your report! thank you for taking the time to help out, you are a great recourse to me and I have been keeping you in my mind. I just got back from a visit to that 3T bore at Hopkins today matter of fact. but.... not for my pudendal issues. I have learned a gre...

Janet, I found out that dr. Chhabra does mri guided pudendal injections. I'm debating on doing it with him vs. Dr. Richard just because of the CT radiation. I'm wondering if it is worth it to get the mrn with him as well. Did you ever find out if therwas any coorelation with ur mrn and surgerical fi...

Cindy, Are you positive you can not get an MRI. I was told by my doctor that they can interrogate the pump, then you go for the MRI, and then back to get the pump turned back on.

I live in Marayland and just noticed Dr. Dellon. I would like to stay close to home as I am in too much pain to travel.

Last week I had a Ganglion Impar block. While it improved the ease of my bowel movements temporarily it did not help with my deep rectal pain. My PT said that my levator ani was not tense or shortened at all while that block was in effect. However, she palpated along the corse of the pudendal and I ...

For the record, my insurance company will reimburse me for Dr. Marvels charges since he is in my network as Janet pointed out. However should I require expensive procedures or surgery I am going to need one of those special black member American Express cards for high rollers, as i own no house to m...

Definitely not fair! But I am going to call the insurance company anyway.Thanks so much for asking Janet :) I had my wife call to make an appointment, after taking her insurance info they asked for her name. She then said the appointment was for her husband (me). At that point the lady explained tha...
