HI Terry, I am new here myself so really dont know as much as many of the long term posters. My understanding you need a special kind of MRI called a Potter MRI to be able to see the nerves. Is you doctor recommending that. If not the MRI may not show any nerves. There are not many surgeons for men ...

I have followed your surgical journy Tony and am so sorry to hear you are not better yet, and in fact worse. That's devastating news. I cant imagine how terrible that must feel after all the research and travel. But give it time. Some of these pains could slowly dissipate over time. My only experien...

So sorry to hear of your numbness and worry. I havn't had PN surgery so really have no experience with what you are going through. I was just at Dellons office last tues April 2 myself trying to get a diagnosis. You are way early with surgery and I imagine the numbness will go away with time. And em...

What a terrible situation. Never heard of this not taking pelvic patients. Have you been in pain management before? Were you ever discharged from a pain center?

Thanks for your replies April and Violet. The PT lady has been practicing for decades and said there is no doctor here in Charlotte that really treats PN, that I need to go to the University Hospitals either in Winston Salem, UNC or Duke. So I am trying to get into Baptist in Winston Salem, they sai...

I am so tired of just waiting around for appointments to come along. So decided to go to a recommended Pelvic floor PT provider. They dont take insurance but will give you the forms if you want to file as an out of network providers. The large PT places that my provider sent me to made me worse, ,bu...

I have complained about my pain management doctor in the past, but the truth is I dont really have a doctor there just hard working PAs who try to help. So I show up complaining the pain medicine was not enough and she said only way she could increase it is if I go on the time released medicine. I h...

Thanks for the links and explanations Violet. For now doing ok with just the hot towels and heating pad but will keep this setup in mind, esp if I ever have surgery.

Thanks for sharing the setup Violet. Looks like Walmart no longer carries that tub....can you give me a rough estimate of the size of the tub. I am trying to visualize this set up. So you got two tubs, one hot and one ice cold inside your bathtub....so your thighs rest on the edge of the shallow tub...
