Doctors in Kansas City area?

Are there doctors within driving time from the Kansas City area who are experts in treating this disorder?
Here is a link to the list of Docs, not sure I would consider any to be within driving distance: http://www.pudendalhope.org/node/58 there is one PT listed for Kansas City, in my experience it is worth seeing a pelvic floor PT, because even if she can't help you chances are good that she will have knowledge of anyone in your area that can be of help. Here's the PT list: http://www.pudendalhope.org/node/63#KS
Not included on the pudendal Doc list is Dr. Frank Feigenbaum who is IN Kansas city, because he does not do pudendal nerve / pelvic floor specifically. However he is the best when it comes to tarlov cysts, which can cause some cases of PN (including mine), by putting pressure on the S2 nerve roots. just letting you know in case that happens to be your problem too, if so you are in the most convenient location possible. Tarlov cysts will appear on a pelvic MRI but are often ignored by radiologists in written reports, so if you have any imaging studies you can specifically request that the radiologist inform you if there are any tarlov cysts visible in the sacrum. Consider them a possibility if your symptoms are not purely pudendal but include sacral pain, pain in the feet and / or legs, bladder and bowel trouble, headaches.
