My Success Story after a Pudental Nerve surgery
I am a 38 years old woman. I have been living in UK for 22 years.
I have been suffering with pelvic pain and burning during and after urinating.
I was with Royal Free(Dr G Smith) then Kingston Hospital(Dr Alan Thomson) then Whipps Cross University Hospital (Dr John L Peters) then St George's Healthcare (Dr Nadine Coull).
After many tests such as cystoscopy and private and NHS consultations in the above hospitals I was diagnosed with "Interstitial Cystitis(IC)"
I had many weekly bladder installations such as Rimso,cystistat.
I was on IC diet and 14 different tablets a day herbal and prescribed .
I was also referred toHyperbaric Medicine unit for the chamber for 40 sessions.
Nothing helped at all.I have tried acupuncture .
As I was diagnosed with IC I became involved with COB(The Cystitis&Overactive Bladder) Foundation for 3 years.They have recommended me Toni Tucker who does acupuncture .Which had reduced my pain up to 40%.But I was still in pain and unable to live my life.Even though I am such a positive person I have thought of suicide but my husband kept me going.
On top of all my pain my husband had a sky diving accident and he is currently in the hospital for the last 5 months.
Finally God smiled on me!
My parents live in Turkey.Health Care is very advance in Turkey due to the medical connection with europe and USA also the size and the ability of private health sector.There is a program called Doctors in our main TV channel. And Prof Doctor Tibet Erdogru was on the program many times explaining about this treatments and wrong diagnoses of pelvic and bladder problems.
He is the head of Da Vinci Robotic surgery in one of the best and high thec hospital in Istanbul.
I have had many doubts before I went and had the surgery but I had no other choice.He did tests and examination on me and said I had prudental nerve problem not IC. So I was shocked !
He gave me contact details of 4 different patients who had the same surgery.Oldest one had the surgery 2.5 years ago and had been pain free.
They have all been pain free since their surgery.
Since I had my surgery I am also pain free my urgency my IBS are gone too.But I still have some light post surgery pain which I am told will disappear after 6 months.
Now that I know my illness I joined this forum . As I had been through hell with it I wanted to spread the word and help people .
Here is my Doctors details if you would like to contact him for advise:
