Re: Where does everybody go?

I haven't been on in a few years mostly because I got well enough to work, and my job has been taking all of my time. My pudendal pain is probably from tight muscles but I never got a definite answer. My regimen consists of taking a small dose of methadone a few times per day, sitting in a certain c...

Re: How do you sleep.

Hi Erik, I know your question is a bit dated, but I thought I'd answer in case you are still looking for a solution (or maybe someone else is). I use the Comfort-U pillow, which is one of those large "U" shaped pillows, usually used by pregnant women. But it keeps you on your side. I can't...

Re: New Person with Pudendal Nerve Disorder

Hi Kathy, Yes, I've been to her before. Thanks, though. Are there any non-stop flights to Ottawa from where you live? A quick flight on your own might be worth considering to not have to deal with a 16-hour roundtrip drive with your hubby. Also, I can relate about stress making the pain flare and wa...

Re: New Person with Pudendal Nerve Disorder

Wow, Kone. Sounds like it is really working for you. I hope you manage to get back up there soon. I don't know if you've ever bid for hotels on Priceline, but that's usually what I've done in the past to get very reasonably priced hotel accommodations. When I saw Dr. Hibner in Phoenix, I managed to ...

Re: Stem Cell Therapy and PRP

Thank you. Looks like there are a few doctors' websites I've come across that advertise stem cell and PRP for "chronic pelvic pain." I just read an article by a professor of cell biology from UC Davis who is wary of these clinics doing a procedure for thousands of dollars that hasn't been ...

Stem Cell Therapy and PRP

Has anyone tried Stem Cell Therapy or PRP for their chronic pelvic pain? A friend of mine emailed me this link: https://r3stemcell.com/conditions/pelvic-pain/ and it talks about how stem cell therapy can repair damaged tissue and also secrete anti-inflammatory factors. This is the first time I've he...

Re: New Person with Pudendal Nerve Disorder

Kone, Thank you for posting about your success story. I, also, have noticed that when I stretch my hamstrings, my sitting pain is reduced for a short while (until they tighten back up again). You mentioned a couple of posts ago that one stretch in particular has really been helpful for you - being i...

Re: Best Cushion for Pain Near Sitbone?

I just saw it's $95...ugh!! If that were the only cushion I've bought it wouldn't be a big deal, but I've already purchased at least 10 - 15 different cushions at an average of $100 or more each. I'm going to try to cut up a cushion I already have to see if that will work first. Of anyone has either...
