I think my symptoms are due mainly to nerve irritation from the bladder neck incision. I just took a 2 week course of Bactrim DS because almost all of my symptoms mimic an infection. It did help the pain & OAB symptoms a little (around 35%) but something is still not right. I'm not sure if it wa...

I might get the MRN done & then if nothing definitive shows up, go ahead & get the 3-T MRI done. I agree with you though, I think it's some sort of scar tissue from the BNI that's causing my problems. All of my bladder symptoms started directly after the surgery. I just hope & pray that ...

I'm planning on going the nerve block route & perhaps PRF ablation if the block actually works. I just can't decide on where to go or exactly who to see. It seems the more research I do, the more confused I get. I do have a couple of options though. Did you ever have PTNS for bladder symptoms &a...

Yes, most doctors won't email you back with the exception of a few. I've heard conflicting reviews about the MRN & Dr. Filler so I don't really know if I'm going to have it done or not. I'd hate to drive to B'ham & waste a full day from work just to have the scan be misinterpreted. Dr. Fille...

You may be correct when it comes to blocking neves other than the pudendal nerve. I sent an email to them as well but never hear a word. I haven't heard of Dr. Wright but I'll certainly look into it. I'm sure the PRF has to be done exactly right in order to get the most benefit but maybe Dr. Vance c...

I've read where PRF can be really helpful for urgency & frequency, which could potentially be wonderful for me. I think most doctors want to try a standard nerve block first though. I wonder what her symptoms & duration were as compared to mine. The website for the pain clinic in Birmingham ...

Ok. I guess Dr. Yearwood doesn't visit the Daphne clinic? I found a Dr. Kevin Vance in jackson, MS that treats people for chronic pain so that may be him. There's a Dr. Austin in Birmingham, AL that uses the pulsed radiofrequency ablation approach. Here's a quote from his site "strives to estab...

Hello Jeanie, I've heard of Dr. Yearwood in Daphne & Dr. McAlister in Fairhope through doing my own research. Are you familiar with either of them? There's also "The Andrews Institute" in Gulf Breeze, Fl that supposedly treats nerve entrapments and "Alabama Pain Physicians" i...

Complete & total BS that he would only see female patients. Surely they realize that males suffer from this condition as well.

Hard to believe there's no one available.
