Hi guys it’s been a while
Just logging in to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year
It’s so wonderful reading how well all of you are doing
I recently suffered a flare up after starting a new desk job—I’m not used to sedentary work—but thankfully I’m doing much better after a couple of treatments from Dr Michael Durtnall at Sayer clinics. Now just making sure I maintain my progress with regular stretches and breaks and of course my wedge cushion!
Have fun tonight however you choose to celebrate (or not, if it’s not your thing) and I look forward to hearing more from you all in 2020—gasp! Still feels weird saying it xx
Happy new year!
Re: Happy new year!
Hi Leah,
Happy New Year to you, too!
With your case of pudendal neuralgia?
I have bilateral PN and SI joint dysfunction which I believe is partly due to pelvic malalignment and also a possible anatomical leg length discrepancy (a chiropractor here in my home state told me I have 9 mm less bone on the left side of my sacrum, causing a 9 mm leg length difference). I've also had "mild" scoliosis from a young age (apparently not very mild if it contributed to my issues now!).
I live in the U.S. but have considered traveling to see Dr. Durtnall. Any type of nonsurgical treatment with significant results seems worth it. Do you happen to know if he's able to treat complex, multifactorial cases?
I saw your post about treatments with the Pelvic Health Rehab Health Clinic, acupuncture, and Dr. Durtnall.
I'm so glad to hear of a recent forum poster showing significant improvement.
Wow, 12 years is such a long time! I've only been dealing with pudendal neuralgia for a year now but it feels like it's been forever lol.
Would you recommend Steph and Liz for cases of PN which include pelvic malalignment? Their clinic is somewhat close to me, so I've been considering flying down there if I can make it. Although I try to avoid sitting and stand or lie down as much as I can, I've had to use a wheelchair because walking is just too difficult now. It's a very lopsided waddle but whatever works lol.
I'm also curious: Were you ever diagnosed with / self-diagnosed with hypermobility or lax ligaments or anything like that? My only concern is that I have hypermobile joints (looser joints and tighter muscles than most) and I've read that sometimes chiropractic is not as effective or can make things worse for people with hypermobility.
I know, 2020 has a different ring to it, doesn't it? Here's to a new decade and new hope for the future.
Happy New Year to you, too!
