Thankyou, I hope so too!
It was a very painful examination, I understand it was necessary though. I have a suspicion that the place that was pressed on the left was the pudendal nerve against the ischial spine. The right side was uncomfortable and painful but the left side - well.
I'm told it won't be long til surgery now - 'a few weeks' was mentioned - as I've waited so long already. I have a bit of a flare now.

Goodness, can understand the flare. . . very good news at how quick it looks like the surgery will be. He obviously realises the length of time you have suffered and how much. Hope this is the last one ever needed! x

Calluna, you have waited so patiently for this. I hope finally you will have the answer for healing and I wish you the best with your surgery. I know you will keep us updated. 
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.
