Ditto your comments, PS. Here's where I'd like to post about a lovely incident involving Fall Girl and me.

Fall Girl happens to live in a town where the train from Toronto to Cornwall stops. Before my last trip to Cornwall, she told me to watch the train platform in her town carefully. When I did, there she was, shivering in the winter weather, and holding up a "HOPE" sign! We waved to each other through the window, gave each other "thumbs up" signs and air hugs, and shed a few tears. It was very emotional. Amazing how the internet can bring people together from all around the world. How could we have managed without it?

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).

I am also pulling for you, PS. If you hadn't found Dr. Potter for us, I doubt that I would have convinced my HMO to approve any treatments for me at all. Her report and credentials have been invaluable and your contributions to HOPE are greatly appreciated. Hoping you see some improvement in the days ahead. Thank you.

Nerve block (unguided) 9/10 Dr. Jerome Weiss - sciatica for 5 months but got numb in painful perineal/scrotal area - he diagnosed entrapment - but no more cortisone for me
Potter MRI 5/11 - rt STL entrapment of PN at Alcocks

Bilateral inguinal hernias diagnosed by dynamic ultrasound - surgery on 6/20/13
Feeling a little better, a few more months will tell

This is so much better than any movie. You are all making me cry but it's a happy kind of crying.

I'm pulling for you too, P.S.
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.

You don't even have to tell me that Violet, I already know! You've been pulling for me ever since I first showed up on pudendal.info years ago & you took the time to answer every single newbie question I had (& there were a lot of them!). Just like you do for everyone who manages to find their way here, desperate & looking for help. Thanks for always being available lady :)

You're welcome -- it's the least I can do. Just want you all to get well ;) and to at least know someone cares about you as you are going through this horrendous illness.
