Suggested Physician in the Philadelphia Area

I thought that I'd suggest a physician that folks should consider. I'm a former bike rider. I rode for 24 months and ended up with PN, causing pain, discomfort, and moderate ED. I was misdiagnosed with PFD and went through three rounds of PT over two years with no improvement. Very frustrating. I wa...

Experience with Gabapentin -- Side Effects

Folks: I've had PN from biking for 3 years now. Took a long time to get to diagnosis, but finally got there. My MD gave me 300 MG/day Gabapentin, which works really well for me.

Re: Cyclist Syndrome?

This email chain is a bit older, but it does speak to bicyclists, which is what brought on my PN. I rode for 2 years until I realized that biking was causing my newfound significant ED. I stopped riding right away, which was 3 years ago. In addition to ED, I developed discomfort in the groin area yo...

Re: Male Cyclist - Do I have PN?

Thank you Andy and Violet for your kind input and assistance. Reading through the forum there are a bunch of physicians that seem to have expertise in PN. It doesn't sound like there is one single test that can diagnose the condition with 100% confidence, so getting to an expert seems more productiv...

My History Purchased mountain bike in April 2012. Did 2...
