Health Organization for Pudendal Education

Stephanie P says: If a patient has a slow, insidious onset of pain that eventually becomes burning, then that’s probably not entrapment but rather myofascial pelvic pain that is affecting the pudendal nerve [/i] That's what I've always felt about my own PN, and it's why I think TP massage is so effe...

That's interesting, Helen. Looks a comfortable position to maintain too! I can see legions of PN-ers taking up floorspace with this and the family dog/cat/child thinking this is a great game, let's pile on! :shock: . Topically, I saw Dr. Greenslade only last week who recommended core strengthening ...

Helen, only just read this thread as have been absent from the forum as you know. Very sorry about your mum, that's a cruel ending to a life of giving to others and to have to worry on top of that about paying for her care is despicable. Brilliant letter from Dr.G, I'm really, really pleased for yo...

Brilliant to hear your success story, Steve. Can you detail what kind of physio work Bill Taylor did to achieve this turn around for you.

But he doesn't believe in SIJD, which was a pretty big disappointment to me. He offered me 2 CT-guided blocks, think he said 2wks apart? He also...

Am relieved to report after a month that my sit-pain levels are back to what they were before the osteopath tripled it - I feel very lucky about that. Lumbar and mid-back muscles are still stiff. Am due to see Dr.Greenslade this coming wednesday, and will update if he can give me any sacral strength...

Grammy, I've suffered with anxiety - not depression - on an off for a couple of decades. Mostly off, I'm glad to say, but when I'm in the depths of it its pretty severe. Just wanted to say that anxiety and depression are both chemical imbalances (though different chemicals for each), and suffering f...
