I would pay out of pocket for shockwave therapy closer to home. First, it is effective treatment for my PN condition. Second, I don't have the expense of flying to Canada, renting a car and a motel for nearly a week. I sent out some more letters but have yet to receive a response.

Shockwave is not the cure-all for everyone, but has been quite effective for me. I am fortunate in that regard. When my inquiries are finally answered in regards to shockwave in the USA, I will post the answer. I want to keep posting what could be a success story about PN, as when I first came on th...

2 month post-shockwave report. It has been exactly two months since my last shockwave treatment. Today I had my best day in a very long time. I had no pain, had energy, and was busy cleaning house (bending, squatting, straining) for a great part of the day. I almost felt "normal" again. It...

Vi, You are absolutely correct. He did shockwave on himself and completely recovered. Yet, if he can do shockwave on the perineum, why don't others?

One month post shockwave report. The gains that I made in the last shockwave treatment (three sessions of about 1 hour each), have remained. I have no rectal symptoms at all. I can sit with less discomfort than in any time since I acquired this condition nearly 5 years ago. Today I sat for 2 hours i...

I wanted to add that while shockwave has worked for me, it is not a cure all. However, if you can recall a definitive injury which caused your PNE then shockwave may be of benefit. My condition was caused by a specific exercise bicycle ride on a particularly uncomfortable seat. I got a deep bruise i...

I am now two weeks post-op from Dr. Andrews' shockwave therapy in Ottawa, Ontario. The soreness and light bruising from the treatment have largely resolved. I did not need any time off from work when I returned from treatment. My job (dentist) requires me to sit a large part of the day. I find that ...

Shockwave therapy report. I am back from Ottawa, where I had three therapy sessions with Dr. Andrews. The time went by so quickly. It is spring up there and the city was abuzz with activity. Dr. Andrews found my areas of pain immediately and used the shockwave machine to treat them. His ability to h...

I am in Ottawa seeing Dr. Kirk Andrews for my third visit for shockwave therapy. I have tried everything buy surgery, and this is the only therapy that has been effective in relieving my perineal tightness and pain. My first two visits eliminated the left pudendal neuralgia, and just the right side ...

Next Tuesday is my appointment for Shockwave with Dr. Andrews in Ottawa, Ontario. I have three visits with him. This will be the third time up there. The first two times resulted in freeing up the left side. The right side remains problematic. Hoping for improvement. kone
