Since joining HOPE in February I have found so much comfort, solace, wisdom and care on this forum. You are all awesome. A special thank you to those (I don't know who you are but you do) who created this venue to allow us to connect with one other and share coping strategies and treatment plans. It is so nice to know that I'm not alone suffering with this complex, complexing and painful condition.
Finally, a special thank you to those of you (e.g. Violet, Celeste, Larry) who have been successfully treated and who nonetheless still take the time to help and guide us. Thank you for not forgetting about us. Your wisdom, experience and support are greatly appreciated.
Here's to another 600 posts!
This is my 600th post!

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). Pelvic pain life coach Lorraine Faendrich helped me overcome the mind/body connection to chronic pain: http://www.radiantlifedesign.com

Well said Lernica. I would also say that you have added to that wisdom and advice in no small measure. I don't know what I would do without you all.

Wow, 600! Thanks for the kind words. Wishing you a great day today!
PNE as a result of childbirth, 2002. Treatment by the Houston team, with neurosurgery by Dr. Ansell in 2004. My left side ST and SS ligaments were found to be grown together, encasing the pudendal nerve.
I am cured. I hope you will be, too.
There are no medical answers on the forum. Your only hope is to go to a doctor. I was very happy with the Houston team, which has treated the most PNE patients (well over 400), more than any other US provider.

Re: This is my 600th post!
I laughed when I read the title of your topic, Lernica. Someone used to tease me about how many posts I had made but I love your attitude -- it's something to be proud of. You have offered support and hope to so many people. Thanks for all you have done. 
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.
