Hi Milly, I had PNE surgery with Dr. Hibner in 2007. I stayed in bed for the first 3 months, only leaving to walk outdoors (10 minutes) every 2 hours.

If your PF is in spasm it can actually cause your coccyx to come out of alignment. I had several coccyx...

Kat, Your post made me smile! :) It brings back memories of when I was first being diagnosed. An arrogant urog/gyno said to me "Well you certainly don't look sick." :evil: Little did he know I was hanging on by a thread. I asked my husband what I had to do to be taken seriously...not take ...
