That's exactly what it tests actually... "the pssd can identify nerves that are causing: • numbness, tingling, or pain" (from the following article... http://www.headtotoehealthcare.org/libr ... esting.pdf)

But isn't the point that, in order to determine how much pressure is required for you to feel the probes, the test is reliant on the patient's feedback (which is based solely on sensation...therefore, if more pressure is required for you to feel anything, doesn't that, by definition, imply some degree of numbness?).

Anyway, sorry the test was so painful for you (at least it seemed to confirm your suspicions).

Yes thanks for the report back about Dellon ,Ali.

You are welcome Charlie.

PS,
I guess that's what I meant to say.However,one thing that bothers me is what if the pressure felt at the base of the Penis and the tip of the Penis is coming from entrapment in the Alcock's Canal/Falciform process of the ligament. :?:However,the awful burning at the tip of the Penis is a very good indication that it is the dorsal nerve.It was indeed a terrible burning sensation.

I think the Aerospace Engineer mentioned in the paper could possibly be Dr. Dellon's son because he told me that his son was a mechanical Engineer.

All the best,
Ali

Ali,
Thanks for the update. It seems that your plan is well thought out and you proceeded very logically.

Dan,
Neurolysis is to free the nerve from adhesion.

Well, I think that was one of the main points of Dellon, Aszmann, et al's studies...that these more 'penile symptoms' aren't caused by entrapments at the more 'traditional' sites (as previously believed), but are actually more indicative of dorsal entrapment.

And interesting re. Dellon's son...didn't know that (or that Dellon was so old! He's looking good for a 68 year old, based on the videos of him I've seen!).

Hi PS,
Those are his pictures from about 20 or 30 years ago.He is an old guy.

Take care,
Ali

Hi PS,
I have the same impression of him.

M.

Hi PS and Mullen,
He is almost my Dad's age.

Regards,
Ali
