Health Organization for Pudendal Education

The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London does not recommend surgery for PN/PNE. I have spoken personally to several doctors there, including Dr Baranowski and Dr Curran and that is their view, having seen many patients diagnosed with the condition. As a member of staff there to...

I'm very interested in this: "My current symptoms are pain with sitting in the buttocks, can't sit on hard surfaces without a cushion, the coccyx cushion doesn't help, the pain is indiscriminate. I can sit on a couch and drive without any sort of discomfort in the perineum but I can't sit on a ...

I don't understand why you don't agree that evidence is important. It is important but what do you do if you run out of things to try that are evidence based? Alan, can I asked why you went to Dr. Durtnall if you didn't see any evidence for it? Is there any evidence for restorative exercise in trea...

Frankly, I don't believe half of the "evidence" posted on the internet. Besides that, measuring the effectiveness of a drug is far easier than measuring the effectiveness of a physical treatment. Personally, I think chiro can help with pudendal nerve problems, as I said before, if the hip...

Of course he's going to do chiro treatment on you if you require it, regardless of whether you have PN or not. I understand your post, but please understand I that am asking about evidence. You refer to amitriptyline as an example of a treatment for which there is evidence "for and against&quo...

You completely missed the point, Alan. He's not on the list because of his chiro training. So why are you asking for evidence that chiropractor treatments work? Violet Violet, No, I haven't missed the point. The posts on these boards that state that Dr Durtnall treated them make it clear that he us...

"If Dr. Durtnall was satisfied with chiro adjustments for PN why would he have gone for training from PT's? " That's a very good question Violet. Perhaps you can see why I've been asking about evidence.

Violet, Firstly, you say the only thing I recommend is medication. That is simply incorrect. I haven't recommended anything, have I? Please re-read what I wrote and check that for yourself. Yes, of course I agree with you that there are some studies on Physiotherapy, and whether these are convincing...

I can understand why you are skeptical of any treatments if you have had bad experiences from them but that doesn't negate the positive experiences other people have had. There is no reason we should believe your negative accounts anymore than we should believe the positive accounts we have heard. ...

Alan, I think you have completely missed the point. This is not just about Dr. Durtnall -- it's about all of the PT's. If you are going to complain about him and the methods he uses then essentially you are complaining about all of the PT's because they use similar methods. Y Violet I don't think I...
