Hello, Well as I am in between finding a surgeon to potentially have labral tear surgery, my pain doc wants to do a block to the PFCN to rule this out as a cause for my pain, before I plan any hip surgery. The reason she is looking at the PFCN, is because that is the only area that showed scar tissu...

Hi Kathyd, What I have found that works for me....is the old fashioned type life jackets...you can get them at any marine store or perhaps even Walmart. We have a boat, and over the summer, I grabbed one to sit on and low and behold it worked for me. My boyfriend duck taped the sides together so tha...

Hi Elmwood, I have been seeing Dr. Coleman at HSS, but due to uninsured out of pocket expenses, I have been forced to look for another hip surgeon. I found Dr. Scott Martin as he is in my network and have an appt wtih him on 28NOV12. I am curious to know, did you enlighten him to the labral tear/PN ...

HI Kathy,

Do I recall you had labral tear surgery?

I am still extremely concerned about the surgery in the sense of damage incurred by the perineal post. As i have stated before, the majority of my pain is...

Regarding going through PT currently, my PT has me doing hip strengthening exercises i.e. clamshells, bridges with a band around my knees, leg lifts, etc...these really seem to exacerbate the 'posterior groin pain' which is a major pain source for me....(pain to the left of perineum pressing up and ...
