Well, it has all of the listed symptoms of Levator Ani syndrome. I am generall pretty good throughout the morning, tighter in the afternoon, and by days end i am burning at the tip of the penis and in the rectum. I took a valium the other night and was perfectly OK for much of the next day...not sur...

All, I have been slow to update, because of the up and down nature of post-surgical life. Here is what I have been able to figure out: Labral tear surgery was a success. Much improved groin pain. Stabbing sensations in my penis are 90% better. I get an occasional dull twinge, but totally managable. ...

Well, I had the hip labrum surgery one month ago. Like all of you, I continue to ride the roller coaster. The good news: In the days following surgery, I presented with classic symptoms of chronic, non-bacterial prostatitis. As I correlated those symptoms to other "flares" I've had, it bec...

I've now seen Dr Potter, Dr C in Phoenix, a local Ortho, and Dr Meyers in Philly, and all agree that I have FAI in my left hip and a labral tear. That consensus combined with the relief that I got from the steroid injection in my hip has me leaning toward getting hip surgery next month. While it is ...

UPDATE: It is NOT PNE!!! My penile pain apparently comes from a dorsal nerve entrapment. I saw Dr Potter yesterday, and i cannot recommend her more highly! The whole staff at the HSS was fantastic and helpful. She also confirmed my FAI and labral tear, so I am planning to address the hip first in ho...

Well it's down to the wire and no word on my MRI appeal. I don't think i can swing the out of pocket for the MRI, so I will wait on getting it until i'm approved. If that happens before May11th, I may try to blast up to NYC and back so that Dr. C. will have the report when I see him. Loretta is book...

I hope it is OK to make a seperate post from my other one describing my case, but I need to make a quick decision. For some unclear reason, my insurance denied coverage for Dr Potter's MRI which I am scheduled to have next Monday 5/2. The decision is under appeal, but I may not have an answer in tim...

UPDATE: My Athletic pubalgia surgeon said a year ago that I had a hip problem even before he operated. Here is what I've done since my last post: 1) Saw Dr Gajraj to get a referrral to Dr Potter for MRI (insurance hasn't approved it yet) 2) Saw an OS and had MRA of my left hip 3) Scheduled an appt w...

TO NYT: I have read extensively about different folks experience with Dr Filler. My personal experience was pretty positive. While he doesn't have the warmest disposition, he took alot of time with me and seemed to be listening intently to everything I said as he formulated his opinion. Is his staff...

hi, I am so sorry you are dealing with all this, and that one surgery made matters worse for you. have you had your hips checked to see if you have a labral hip tear? I went to Dr. Filler for my first surgery, and it only gave me new plantar fascitis and sciatic like symptoms with no pain decrease....
