I have an inversion table. One day I told my chiropractor about it and he told me that there was a class action suit against one of the makes of the inversion table because they caused strokes. I have not used it since. Know anyone that wants one?

Hi Kate,
Thanks for the feedback. I will be cautious. I am going to try one at my friend’s house to see how I feel. I just started with a PT, so I’ll ask him as well.
I wish you well,
Shon

I know inversion tables are good for some spine problems, not sure how they help pudendal. I had a half inversion table where you bend halfway upside down, and doing so hurt my neck as I supported myself up and down... so I don't recommend that... as I was a wimp from all this laying around... and my muscles spasmed.
-straddle fall age 4-7 w/bleeding labia, tampons hurt in teens, papsmere started annoying pelvic 'tingling' & pne in 02
-obturator surgery w/ Filler in 05 (useless, created sciatic & plantar fascitis pain)
-TIR surgery w/ Bautrant in 08 and vestibulectomy in 08 in France (vest. removed pain w/intercourse, pain w/sitting increased post surgery)
-chronic fatigue & food allergies/migraines (gluten, milk) from pain meds in 08
-want a life back. I'm 34 w/8+ years of pain

We have one and it actually caused some trouble for me in my neck at c5 c6... so I don't use it anymore at all.

Hi All,
Thanks so much for your input. I think that I'll just stay away from the Inversion Tables. It sounds like they do more harm than good.
All the best!
I wish you well,
Shon
