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.

Radiofrequency ablation of the nerve is different, but more commonly used because on clinical data and insurance coverage (because of t...

Re: Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy(PEMF)

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...
