What body type are you?

Post by PaulSa »

Over the past four years that I’ve had this condition I’ve seen and met with numerous specialists and have been told that my build (Thin, not a lot of padding on my butt) my job (sitting most of the day) and riding a motorcycle for long periods of time contributed to my problem. I am curious to see what build everyone has and if they received any trauma. Please answer the following questions,

What build type?

• Thin
• Average
• Heavy

Condition started with?

• Trauma
• Micro Trauma (Slow progression)

Body type - thin
Condition started with micro-trauma???? -- 2 months into weightlifting program
PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

I'm about 30lb overweight, small build.

And my PN was caused by surgical trauma.
