Re: Dr. Hal Martin DO
Wow, Lydiac, great news! Thanks for sharing it with us. How did your nerve get entrapped, if you don't mind my asking?
Athlete until pain started in 2001. Diagnosed with PN in Nov. 2010. Probable cause: 3 difficult labors, 5 pelvic surgeries for endometriosis, and undiagnosed hip injuries. 60% better after 3 rounds of shockwave therapy in Cornwall, Ontario (Dec - Feb/12). 99% better after bilateral hip scopes for FAI and labral tears (April and July/12). Pelvic pain life coach Lorraine Faendrich helped me overcome the mind/body connection to chronic pain: http://www.radiantlifedesign.com
Re: Dr. Hal Martin DO
I am glad this surgery seems to have helped you Lydia. Sounds like you have been through a lot! I read on another thread that Dr. Martin went in through the same 2 incisions he used for the scaitica release that was done endoscopically on you. Where exactly are those two locations? Does he decompress the entire nerve from the piriformis to alcock's canal or just at the piriformis level? It seems like it would be hard to sever the SS ligament laproscopically. Just trying to understand his technique.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Dr. Hal Martin DO
So where is the entry point of the incisions/incision?

Re: Dr. Hal Martin DO
It sounds like there would be multiple keyhole incisions.

I am unable to go to your blog and see the pictures. It looks like it is by invitation only now.

Re: Dr. Hal Martin DO
I had pudendal decompression surgery with Dr. Conway in NH on July 12th. I feel I still have other nerves that need to be addressed. Not sure where to go or whom to go to.
I also had surgery with Dr. Martin, but in much pain.
