Pelvic Pain Retreat - 2013

Post by Violet M »

This is a retreat for patients.

http://www.allianceforpelvicpain.com/
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.

I tried to upload it as an attachment onto the forum but it's too large and won't upload.
