I think Dr. A. is very willing to share and teach his protocol; his goal is to reduce PN suffering, not to profit from it. He will be in Toronto this week to make a presentation at a conference put on by Siemens (the distributor of his shockwave machine). Unfortunately I think most of the attendees will be orthopods since that is the only medical field (so far) that has accepted the validity of ESWT in published articles, etc.

Dr. A. will also be meeting with Canada's PN expert, Dr. Gordon, this week in Toronto to share ideas about treatment. I think that this is an exciting development as Dr. Gordon is an influential member of the Canadian medical community and can spread the word about the use of ESWT to treat chronic pelvic pain.

So I think Dr. A. is more than willing to share his treatment protocol, he just needs an invitation to do so!

That would be brilliant Lernica. I really think that this is the one thing that I could try that may make a difference, without having any surgical procedure.
Have to see if my other half would entertain a trip to Canada at some stage until his protocol goes global. :) You probably posted this in the past but at least others (Romania) recognise a similar necessity.
