Drowning in pain?
Re: Drowning in pain?
Thanks all for your feedback.
PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

Honestly, to depict a human being in pain AND drowning? How much more macabre can we get?calluna wrote: Could be improved upon by making the little man look more as if he is in pain as well as drowning, I think!

I think we should stay with the 'Drowning in Pain'.
Please don't forget that this website is for current members as well as those that we are purportedly trying to "attract" with macabre eye-catching images. To have to face a picture of a drowning person howling in pain every time I open this webpage would really be too much for me.Athlete until pain started in 2001. Diagnosed with PN in Nov. 2010. Probable cause: 3 difficult labors, 5 pelvic surgeries for endometriosis, and undiagnosed hip injuries. 60% better after 3 rounds of shockwave therapy in Cornwall, Ontario (Dec - Feb/12). 99% better after bilateral hip scopes for FAI and labral tears (April and July/12).

Re: Drowning in pain?
Sorry Violet, I love the drowning in pain, and HOPE life saving ring especially. What about an arm reaching out of the water, then it could be more unisex too ? ?
Take care,

I am sorry Lernica, I didn't mean to cause any upset. And I certainly didn't intend anything macabre.
I just meant that he looks almost cheerful, he doesn't look unhappy, nor does he look as if he were drowning. I am really sorry. It was just a suggestion, and I didn't phrase it very well. Now that's a good idea.helenlegs 11 wrote:Sorry Violet, I love the drowning in pain, and HOPE life saving ring especially.

Calluna, absolutely no need to apologize! But thanks anyway!

Re: Drowning in pain?
You know, if the drowning picture makes even one person upset I think it has to go. I'm sure we can come up with something everyone is happy with. We will just have to keep working on it.

Love the new picture on the home page. Nice quote from Christopher Reeve, too. Thanks, Mods!

Re: Drowning in pain?
That's a really, really good quote.
And it still links with our lifebelt logo thingie, because it is the sea. And I like the picture, too.

Re: Drowning in pain?
The new quote and picture are perfect!
2007-08 pelvic muscles spasms treated by EGS. 6/27/10 sat too long on hard chair- spasms, EGS not work Botox help, cortisone shots in coccyx help, still pain, PT found PNE & sent me to Dr Marvel nerve blocks & MRN, TG left surgery 5/9/11. I have chronic bunion pain surgery at age 21. TG gave me back enough sitting to keep my job & join in some social activities. I wish the best to everyone! 2019 luck with orthotics from pedorthist & great PT allowing me to get off oxycodone.
