That's curious! I downloaded them just the other day.
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).

Sorry Violet, must have been a glitch in my computer. I'm using my laptop today and it opened fine.

Hi folks,

I'm preparing an application for disability and would like to include (for the insurer's convenience) all the articles listed at the bottom of this handout. But when I look under Doc's Publications we have only two of the five articles posted there -- Labat's paper on the Nantes Diagnostic Criteria and Hibner's 2010 paper. Does anyone know where can I find the other articles?

Thanks. I'll be posting an update on my situation shortly.

All the best,

Lernica

Lernica,
There are two other sites you can check to see if tgey have the publications:
spuninfo
Www.pudendal.com

The spuninfo has a resourses section that has publications. Hope this helps if you do not hear from someone about the listings for this site.

Good luck with the disability submission.

2007-08 pelvic muscles spasms treated by EGS. 6/27/10 sat too long on hard chair- spasms, EGS not work Botox help, cortisone shots in coccyx help, still pain, PT found PNE & sent me to Dr Marvel nerve blocks & MRN, TG left surgery 5/9/11. I have chronic bunion pain surgery at age 21. TG gave me back enough sitting to keep my job & join in some social activities. I wish the best to everyone! 2019 luck with orthotics from pedorthist & great PT allowing me to get off oxycodone.

Lernica, here is the link to Bautrant's paper: http://pudendalhope.org/sites/default/f ... utrant.pdf
Here's the one to the Houston team paper: http://www.pudendalhope.info/sites/defa ... ment_0.pdf
Here's Robert's: http://www.pudendalhope.info/sites/defa ... Robert.pdf
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.

Thanks Violet! It might be helpful to post these on our collection of Doc Publications, no?

They are already there. You can go to this link: http://pudendalhope.org/node/25 or you can go to the home page and click on "See docs Publications". You will have to scroll down to find them and then click on the article you want.
