Hey Helen,
Ditto to Karyn's note but I do have a favoritism (okay maybe not a real word?) Towards burgundy! Yes we just want a little of those other things now and then. I am coping by staying home today one frigid trip to work yesterday in the teen temp was enough. My sitter was sore by the end of the day and the feet just hate the cold. Finished a book today and attempted to get an appointment with a new pain guy, waiting for the new patient coordinator to call back. Have a nice day everyone.

Saving your ligaments during operation
Re: Saving your ligaments during operation
2007-08 pelvic muscles spasms treated by EGS. 6/27/10 sat too long on hard chair- spasms, EGS not work Botox help, cortisone shots in coccyx help, still pain, PT found PNE & sent me to Dr Marvel nerve blocks & MRN, TG left surgery 5/9/11. I have chronic bunion pain surgery at age 21. TG gave me back enough sitting to keep my job & join in some social activities. I wish the best to everyone! 2019 luck with orthotics from pedorthist & great PT allowing me to get off oxycodone.
Re: Saving your ligaments during operation
Janet, hope you were able to get your appointment. I noticed you said your PN was squished between the 2 ligaments. Mine was too and in those cases the only way I know of that the nerve can be released is to cut one of those ligaments. Of the 2 the SS is smaller and seems less important. So, Helen1000, it's not a perfect choice but if you are in a lot of PN pain may be the lesser of 2 evils to risk having some instability post-op.
Speaking of scared -- my husband cuts my hair. He offered to do it and it was scary at first but he's getting pretty good at it. I got tired of the salons butchering it.

I agree with Karyn -- you're fantastic the way you are Helenlegs!helenlegs 11 wrote: There are so many fantastic hair colours now I'm tempted. . . pinkor a deep burgundy ?? Maybe I am actually trying to reinvent myself. . . . . NO, too scared !

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.

Violet,
Thanks for the support for my appointment. It turns out to be like when I went to Dr Marvel, you do not get an appointment until all your doctors send in notes from your last 2 appointments and the pharmacy sends your 6 month prescription history. My GP has outsourced everything so it could take another week. Luckily I am still covered currently and just researching a new possible way to help lower the pain. Probably I will get a March appointment. Also hoping to help others in this area if I find out this doctor/pain clinic is helpful. Take Care
