Hi Greg,
Dr. Tibet does not post on this site, but he is one of our Physician Advisors.
I don't have a Facebook account, either ;)
Best regards,
Karyn

Hi Greg,
Just wanted to echo Violets words and thanks for your sterling efforts and help as a Pn cruasder ;) I know you have helped so many.
Keep us up dated with your recovery Molly. I do think that the lengthy surgery you had may mean a longer recovery period but as Greg said everyone has a different situation so we can't really be comparing one against another.
take care,
Helen

Thank you, helenleggs. I'd meant to come back sooner to check on this thread. I need any kind comments I can get these days. Life's been very tough for me as of late.

To everyone:

I just looked at my signature on here and had to laugh. When I have time I need to make some edits to my profile.

Greg
Had surgery in Nantes, France in 2001 with Professor Robert. I advocate physical therapy with PTs who specialize in the pelvic floor. I also advocate injections to help diagnose PN and I am in favor of having PN surgery to release the nerve when the diagnoses points to an entrapped nerve.

Hi Greg,

Sorry it's been rough for you lately. Is it PNE acting up or other stuff?

I agree -- your signature is a bit outdated. :lol:

Violet
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.
