Not at all, I only provided a list of common misdiagnoses we have come across at our clinic. Some patients have had literally 6-12 different diagnoses from 6-12 different therapists and clinicians.ezer wrote:
Sure but you are the one that thinks there is a common etiology among a list of conditions you posted at the beginning of this thread
Sometimes there is a common etiology. Sometimes not. Depends on the condition. Depends on the person. Depends on the physical findings, clinical history, and a plethora of other relevant factors.
Read up on visceralsomatic and somatovisceral literature. That is just one example. I do not have time to provide you with the culmination of years of neurological, anatomical, physiological and biomechanical education.
No, not once did I say "all". Nor did I make a case for "all".ezer wrote: so in some ways you made a case for the "all".
Perhaps you're highly skeptical and argumentative nature is allowing your perceptions to 'fill in the blanks'.
For PNE, for example, it is possible to have a mechanical cause, such as cycling, which causes myofascial dysfunction of the pelvic floor and fascia causing adhesions to the Pudendal Nerve, which can also occur due to mechanical compression alone, which all causes inflammation which causes more scarring and more mechanical dysfunction and pain. Pain causes guarding which causes more mechanical and myofascial dysfunction which leads back to all of the above. Furthermore, the Pudendal Nerve innervates somatic structures and visceral structures. When compressed, can cause dysfunctional innervation to the bladder (among other areas), which can cause symptoms of IC, Prostatitis, etc. Furthermore, theoretically altered innervation can lead to urinary retention, a common cause of infectious IC.ezer wrote: So tell us more about it this common etiology.
This is merely a simplistic singular example of the inter-relationships of the muscle, nerves, viscera and biomechanics of such a complex system. Starting to see why the diagnostic challenges exist?
Starting to see the common etiologies and relationships?
Beginning to understand how its like a game of 'dominoes'?
Its a vicious cycle of inter-connected elements which creates a confusing pattern with a multitude of symptoms. These multitudes of symptoms cannot be addressed by the current reductionist allopathic model of medicine because each oversimplifies it and view it through their paradigm. For instance, a Urologist only sees bladder symptoms (and assumes infection usually), a neurologist ignores biomechanics, etc. etc.
