It might show a compression but it's not 100% accurate in diagnosing PNE in the alcock's canal.

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.

Violet - are you saying an MRN cannot properly diagnose PNE? I know Dr. Hibner's office says they don't rely on them.
