thank you ezer! we should add this article to the one violet created to build awareness on pne. given along with the handout, it provides a doctor's opinion that doctors would trust and take more seriously.

[Violet M]

Pianogal, I was already thinking of using it. I'm going through some other literature too -- looking for what will support the document.

Thanks so much ezer for posting this. This is such great concise info on PN! It really helps people get the whole "process" of diagnosis and treatment.

ezer, thanks for posting Dr. Hibner's article on Pudendal Neuralgia. On page 152 of Dr Hibner's article it says,patients with symptoms of Pudendal Neuralgia for greater than 10 years are less likely to recover because of the long duration of damage of the nerve,especially when compared to their counterparts with pain of less than 10 years of time. I have had Levator Spasms for 19 years and I think the spasms are caused by Pudendal Nerve Entrapment. Does this mean that PNE surgery would not help me,since so much time has passed?

[Violet M]

Joddy, there are people who've had pain for 15-30 years who have gotten better. It's impossible to predict the outcome of surgery with any certainty. Keep your courage up.
