I've previously heard very good reviews of Dr. Greenslade. I didn't know of Dr. Wong - great, the list is growing!
Take care
Honestly Dr Greenslade is so fantastic! every time I have asked anything of him he has replied straight away, especially with regard to HOPE. Dr Wong is a general surgeon but he now lists pudendal decompression surgery on his info pages. He is a specialist in Thyroid problems and does gastric band surgery too it seems. . . . .I am about 1 and 1/2 stones over weight with all ~~HMMmmmm ? ?~~.
Fall 2008. Misdiagnosed with lumber spine problem. MRN June 2010 indicated pudendal entrapment at Alcocks canal. Diagnosed with complex variant piriformis syndrome with sciatic, pudendal and gluteal entrapment's by Dr Filler 2010.Guided piriformis botox injection 2011 Bristol. 2013, Nerve conduction test positive; new spinal MRI scan negative, so diagnosed for the 4th time with pelvic nerve entrapment, now recognised as Sciatic, pudendal, PFCN and cluneal nerves at piriformis level.

Yes, I wish I lived near Bristol sometimes rather than London! Its of no help to patients in pain when information about your treatment processes is deliberately withheld by the consultant himself because he "is a very busy man" - as happened to me - and you're just the next bum on the table, so compassion plus expertise is brilliant to come across!

Haha, Helen, two gastric bands orders coming up :-D
PN, possible entrapment at ischial spine -Dr.Natasha Curran, National Hospital for Neurology, London.
2 -Xray guided double nerve blocks -Dr.Baranowski - no relief.
TP self-massage reduced piriformis pressure on p nerve.
Dr.Greenslade/Bristol:
CT guided block (left) 16.7.12- success! Could sit without a cushion! On a brick wall!
06/2/13 - Sit pain gradually returned, L3. Offered further CT-guided block, or an op. Had to decline at time.
Feb '15. Applying to be referred again to Dr G.
