[A's Mommy]

Hello all!!

Check out the schedule for the annual IPPS meeting in Chicago, IL!

Some noteworthy speakers include:

Michael Hibner, MD, PhD
Richard Marvel, MD
Stephanie Prendegast, PT
Rhonda Kotarinos, PT

Oh, you found it! So this is where Dr. Conway is! This is awesome, A's Mommy! Thanks so much for posting the link.
Hugs and love,

Well, I ended up "thinking" there HAD to be some type of pelvic pain meeting going on in the US because Dr. Hibner is out of town, then someone else posted Dr. Conway was also out of town and I spoke to Loretta and she said she would see Hibner this weekend so then I just put it all together and happened to check the pelvic pain website and realized, well HEY, THEY ARE ALL CONVERGING THERE! I'm praying that awesome things come out of this meeting. I wish they would do a webcast of their presentations with slides like that recent one done in Toronto (late August) with Beco, Antolak, Weiss, et al.

<3 ya,

We're doing the 7th Interdisciplinary World Congress on Low Back and Pelvic Pain Nov 9-12, but I am not sure if the big name Docs for PN will be there as we have been pre-connecting with the people in the biomechanical fields; anyhow here is the website in case somebody wants to checka nd see if they are all going there too, guess I am too lazy to ferret it out myself:

Anyhow it is reassuring that so many of these things are going on!

There is certainly an impressive lineup of recognised Pelvic Pain Doctors at this meeting in Chicago.
Lets hope that the abstracts of their findings will be available soon for all to read.

So can this site register for the International Pelvic Pain Society?

Does anyone on this site belong to it?

Do any of you recommend joining a Pelvic Pain Society?

I hope my issues are resolved, but part of me wants to be up to date on the new info coming out that may help people like us to live more normal lives.

Thanks for you opinions and suggestions.

Ya, I know my Pt was there too. Sherese Hildenbrand so I hope to get her take on the conference. I'm particularly interested in the discussions on the central nervous system stuff, but all of it of course. If I talk to her soon, I'll try to summarize.

Kathy, it would be great if someone from the site could register as a member and attend -- it's a bit pricey though. But if we can get our PT's to report back as Cora said, that would be great!

[Cora]

I see Sherese next week and I'll ask her about the meeting and give a full report. Stay tuned.
