Health Organization for Pudendal Education

How are you doing one month post op? I have had my first round of intense PT in Orlando and do not notice a difference in pain. They want to do at least 12 sessions so I have 7 to go. Somedays I think had I had my surgery with Dr. Conway I too would be 1 month post op. I am still praying for some relief with PT. If you are posting your recovery please let me know where. Wishing you the best. Judy

Judy,

Who are you seeing in Orlando?

Hi Judy!
Thanks so much for checking in with me. I plan on posting a 6 or 8 week up date when the time comes. Yesterday (05/03/11) was my 5 week "aniversary"!
All in all, I'm doing pretty well! Sitting is still out of the question but it's not because of nerve pain. It's more a tightness in the bottom of my butt from surgery. I'm confident that as time and healing goes on that'll get better. I'm pretty active - puttering around the house, doing things at "counter level", been walking every day for the past couple of weeks and I make dinner every night. I'm not and never was couch bound or bed bound. Not even right after the surgery. I try to lie down for a little while in the afternoon to read, just to get off my feet for a while and I do need to be more diligent about that.
I think of you often, Judy and wish nothing but the best for you! I'm sorry the PT hasn't been very effective so far and hope it's not causing you pain flares.
Warm regards,
Karyn

Krista I am seeing Elizabeth Bell in Celebration FL and her assoc. is Tracy Sher in Orlando. They specialize in Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and especially Pudendal problems. I have had 5 consecutive days of PT. Now a 2 week break and I return for 4 more days, then 3 etc. We live 3 hours from Orlando so they are being very aggresive. I haven't noticed much change. Judy

Hi Judy,

I also see Tracy Sher. I have seen some improvement from her I think. I hope you feel relief soon.

Karyn,
Glad to hear you are making progress. I have been wondering how you were doing. Your compassion and caring are one of the things that makes HOPE a place where people can come when they need encouragement. Sending healing energy in your direction.

All My Best,

Don
