Hopeitworks, I'm not a Doctor and not qualified to give medical advice, but I have to say I'd be really skeptical of the diagnosis you've been given. You already had another Doctor write a letter saying that you were misdiagnosed with IC. There are a ton of anatomic variations of the Piriformis musc...

The one symptom I get that's most distressing is an IBS-like flare up- a sudden abdominal cramp, followed by 1-2 explosive diarrhea bowel movements about 5-10 mins later, sometimes followed by rectal spasms and pain for up to a few hours. Sometimes afterwards I even have like "spasm bowel movem...

Thank you for posting this review. I had considered seeing Dr. Marvel as he's one of the few PN Drs. within driving distance, but his office told me they only accept insurance if you're a woman. Male patients must pay out of pocket, which starts at $600 just for a consultation (and more, if he decid...

It's possible your GP has read the latest research and concluded it doesn't work. I see Alan brought up an old post of mine linking to a study earlier this year showing that Lyrica is no better than placebo for sciatica. There was also a Cochrane Review in 2012 that concluded Lyrica was no better th...

Wow... Uh, I am definitely NOT Ezer. I have the exact same screen name on TMS Wiki- you can read all my posts there, many of which even question mindbody. I have been told so many different things by different Doctors and PT's that I am naturally skeptical of everything. Apparently that's not allowe...

So Marwa B originally joins the forum and creates a thread on 4/20/17, never posts again, then comes back today within an hour of me posting, appearing to speak on behalf of all the Durtnall posters. Interesting. I actually have nothing further to say on the matter nor do I feel like continuing to p...

Not a single word spent about treatments .... Very very sad and disappointing post. It's a commonality in all these reviews- lots of Appeals to Emotion, but little in the way of explaining what specific treatments are done or how they work. To find that out, it's mostly the use of imperatives to vi...

Note that I never said this particular review was fake- I said that "all these Durtnall one post reviews have all the signs of being fake". I was speaking to all the reviews in general, which have a lot of red flags, for example: similar writing style, overuse of personal pronouns and emot...

All these Durtnall one-post "reviews" have all the signs of being fake.

Thought I would post this here since many PN patients (myself included) have suffered with sciatica at some point: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study just published last week in The New England Journal of Medicine (arguably the most prestigious medical journal in the U.S.) showed L...
