Yes, I know it is an anti-anxiety medication. I have no explanation for why it is helping my nerve pain. Actually, when I told my family doctor about the relief I was getting from Xanax, he suggested I try clonozopam instead as it stays in the body longer than Xanax does. I have been on the Clonozip...

No, I don't have pelvic spasming--my problems started two years ago after bladder surgery. I've been getting PT for five weeks on Dr. Hibner & Loretta Robertson's suggestions and while my therapist says that my pelvic region is much more relaxed than it was when I first began the PT, it hadn't c...

I have been diagnosed with PNE by a specialist at the University of Washington and the diagnosis was confirmed by Dr. Hibner in Arizona this summer. I've been unable to tolerate Neurontin or any of the usual nerve meds as they seem to upset my stomach greatly. Last week I received a "call back&...

Violet, when I first scheduled my appt. with Dr. Hibner (8 months in advance!), I asked that very question and the person on the phone said that Dr. Hibner would need to see me first and assess which procedures I would actually need. However, I wasn't about to waste my time down there so I went ahea...

I was impressed by Dr. Hibner and also Patty, his secretary. I flew to Arizona from WA state and he wanted me to get an MRI (to be read by Dr. Kalinkin) and also a CT-guided injection of numbing medication and a steroid. This was on a Wednesday and I was flying home on Saturday. Dr. Hibner had Patty...

Wow! Looks like I have a long way to go. It's good to hear your surgery report - I am seeing Dr. HIbner in August for the first time. He is the final stop for me on a long journey to find out what can be done to help me.

I've recently been prescribed Lyrica by my doctor for PNE pain. He had me take 25 mg. a day for one week, then up it to 50 mg a day. So far I've noticed no difference after two days on the 50 mg. dose. But I've seen people on this forum talk about Lyrica helping them. Are these the dosages you've tr...

Thank you so much! I too would like to know if it's air-conditioned...will be there in August.

I am guessing that he would refer me to someone else. He referred me to Dr. Michael Gofeld for the nerve block. These are Dr. Tauben's credentials which I pulled from the UW internet website: "Dr. Tauben is a UW clinical associate professor and director of medical student education in pain medi...

I haven't seen his name in these forums. He is Dr. David Tauben at the University of Washington Pain Clinic in Seattle.
