Pelvic PT Specialist Stephanie Pendergast posted an interview she did with Dr. John David Prologo of Emory University in Atlanta where he describes a cryoablation protocol that applies cold 3 - 4 times longer than the 'standard" protocol. Results of that treatment almost aways last a few months...

I've been scheduled for cryoablation on 6/27/24, with a nerve block the day before. I've had two nerve blocks done by Dr. Lawrence Poree, who is now at UCSF in San Francisco. He did them at the ischial spine using fluoroscopy for visualization and a needle probe with a speaker on it that could pass ...

Wow! Very encouraging. My pain is flared up so I had to just scan your posts. But congratulations! I'm impressed! Very generous of you to share all this. There's also a Reddit Pudendal Neuralgia group and a few on Facebook. You could also purchase your story on YouTube. Please let the group know exa...

Not to be an alarmist, but I was surprised to recently read about someone who had their pain return after taking Cipro, a commonly prescribed antibiotic. I checked it out, and it turned out that apparently there are several drugs where the risks and benefits have to be considered before taking them ...

.Has anyone tried pudendal nerv0⁰radiofrequency ablation, aka RF ablation, PRF, and CRF? Or, have you had PRP (platlet-Rich Plasma) treatment?

I just learned that Interventional Radiologist Dr. Eric King offers pudendal nerve cryoablation. From what I've read, it lasts fron 6 weeks to 6 months and can be repeated. The idea for any kind of pudendal neuralgia, including radiofrequency ablation, aks RF ablation, PRF and CRF, is to disrupt the...

I just got a reply to an email sent asking for surgeon recommendations. They reply was that surgery doesn't work, but that what they ate doing does work. I've learned that when you're a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. I get that. People have their specialties. It sounds like the head PT is ...

It's actually an intriguing symptom. Stress makes my pain worse. So does constipation. If relaxing, as in sleeping, decreases pain, and so does not feeling stresses, it seems to me like that should be a huge clue as to what's going on. Obviously, when awake, your pelvic floor is tightened. Not sure ...

I'm having difficulty getting doctors to quote what the out of pocket cost would be for decompression surgery. Not even a ballpark quote. Dr. Stanley Antolak has been really helpful, but he just retired and moved. He recommended Dr. Conway. But there's a YouTube interview of him saying that his succ...
