Re: Continuing saga

Thank you for the great information. I actually am being treated at Stephanie's practice not by her but by a PT within her firm. She also believes I don't have entrapment but possible irritation in one of the branches. We are working on trigger points and skin rolling to try to relieve the symptoms....

Re: Continuing saga

Thanks Helen and Violet Yeah things are definitely better than weeks 1-8, that was practically crippling pain. Still though it interfers with my day to day and my pt doesn't want me doing exercise other than walking light swimming and yoga. While I wasn't a jock I do miss working out in gym, biking,...

Potters contact information

I was wondering if anyone has contacted Dr Potter to send her protocol for the 3t MRI to their local imaging center. I have recently had a 3t MRI, non Potter style, of my lower back and pelvis which has turned up nothing out of the norm that could be causing my condition. They did see a small lesion...

Re: Physical therapy does it work

Hi Janet Thanks for your reply. Yes the pt I am seeing is one from Stephanie Prendergrast and Elizabeth Rummer's office who I found are some of the best in the business.

Re: Is this PN?

Ok went to the neurologist, he did a physical exam found numbness in upper thighs and hypersensitive in right rear thigh, sciatic area. He didn't think I had PN because my symptoms were so diffuse and mainly associated outside the groin area. Did not warrant an MRI even though I mentioned it. He did...
