Re: Pelvic Varices

Is a Potter MRI Definitive? Pelvic Floor Congestion?
I had a potter MRI which doesn't seem to have found PNE but instead something called Pelvic Floor Congestion Syndrome. This is enlarged veins in the pelvis that can cause similiar symptoms to PNE and the veins are next to/near the pudendal nerve. This syndrome explains some of my symptoms but not al...

Re: Yoga, PT, squatting/lunging
I have to comment on this because i have wondered the same thing. Isa Herrera (PT mentioned above) is my physical therapist and she told me NOT to do any forward bends/hip flexion as it "stretches" the pudendal nerve and irritates it. I am a yoga teacher and have found that yoga can both h...

Re: Has anyone had symptoms go away for months only to reocc

Then, a couple of days ago -- it came back, only mildly. I am going to see Sheldon Jo...

Re: How do you get diagnosed with PNE?
I'm not sure exactly how i got this. I fell straddle on a jungle gym when i was five but i had no serious injury at the time. I have done a lot of yoga and had a "hamstring injury" at the sitting bone where my sitting bone throbbed for years on on and off. After sitting and working at a de...

How do you get diagnosed with PNE?
HI: I am new to this site and am pretty sure that i have PNE. I am going to a vulvar pain specialist, but I'm not sure she knows what she is doing. I have requested a Nerve block but she was reluctant to give one. She doesn't follow the protocol listed on this site and only does a hand-guided intra-...
