Re: How long did it take before you knew the outcome?

Bad week now, regressed at least 3 weeks! It seems to be the thing with PNE, more false dawns than sun rises :0(

Re: STILL HAVING PROBLEMS CONTACTING THE BRISTOL TEAM

I had big problems with his "Sec". "Pain is good Sean, pain is goo"!!!! I found Dr G OK apart from paralysing my leg during the nerve block but definitely inaccurate information from his Sec.

Re: Pudendal Nerve Decompression Surgery - post surgery reco

Blimey I'm never off this site! There's a saying in the UK "All mouth and no trousers" and I hold that crown! I admit attempting to go to the gym was a disaster. I couldn't sit on the hand wheel machine. The pad (which feels like a nappy) covering my open abscess wound presses on the injur...

Re: Pudendal Nerve Decompression Surgery - post surgery reco

Thank you Janet. I'm really interested in acupuncture - do you self administer? I'm really surprised that PNE is regarded as a rare condition when so many of us have the condition. Having been admitted to a general hospital for my abscess surgery, when you mention its a result of a PNE condition and...

Re: Pudendal Nerve Decompression Surgery - post surgery reco

Re: Pudendal Nerve Decompression Surgery - post surgery reco

Thanks Molly and again wise words. It's true that PNE seems to hit those of us that led fit and active lives. I'm trying now to work around the problem. Tomorrow I have my 1st remedial gym session. Where beforehand it would be the X-trainer, for cardiovascular work I'm going to use the hand cycle. T...
