Re: Pudendal guy in California
Lo and behold, my nerve pain doctor in Los Angeles may have found the problem for my pain. I had a nerve block with steroids injected at the base of my spine this morning, with the aid of a catscan.

Shawn, I have made this comment before on your post.... be careful with your use of the word ablation. In low thermal PULSED RF the goal is not to ablate the nerve.

Re: Dr. Christopher Filippi UVM/Fletcher Allen
Thanks for the info. It only makes sense that there would be more than one person in the world who could do this! :) Were you able to see the entrapments on the images? Yes we were definitely able to see the entrapment. It is just north of the sacrotuberous ligament, so it is up in the air a bit wh...

Dr. Christopher Filippi UVM/Fletcher Allen
Everyone, I know Potter is a genius, but there are other physicians that can complete the 3T MRI(N) on the Pudendal Nerve. My images where completed by Dr. Filippi in Burlington, VT at the teaching hospital Fletcher Allen. I was positive for bi-lateral entrapment and he sat down and went over the im...
