Everyone,
I know Potter is a genius, but there are other physicians that can complete the 3T MRI(N) on the Pudendal Nerve. My images where completed by Dr. Filippi in Burlington, VT at the teaching hospital Fletcher Allen. I was positive for bi-lateral entrapment and he sat down and went over the images with me in his office. Just and FYI....

Thanks for the info. It only makes sense that there would be more than one person in the world who could do this!
Were you able to see the entrapments on the images?

Yes we were definitely able to see the entrapment. It is just north of the sacrotuberous ligament, so it is up in the air a bit whether it is the PF muscle or the ligament itself causing the issue. It was amazing I went to the radiologist's office and he dimmed the lights and we went over the films together. My nerve was enhanced (birghter), thus swollen all the way to the base of the penis from the PF muscle. However, the nerve was less enhanced then it had been two months earlier in a trial run of the MRI. By the images it would appear that I am S L O W L Y healing.

Does anyone know of a doctor who does MRI's for pudendall anywhere around Ohio. Winter coming may have to look in another direction besides north. Mid January to see Dr Potter. Maybe south or west.

PN-SufferVT,
Hello, did you ever get a Potter MRI? How are you feeling now?
I'm considering going up to Fletcher Allen to see Dr. Filippi. Just wondering if you have any updates about his MRI.
Thanks!

I see a number of people have had the 3T MRI(N) on the Pudendal Nerve. But I don't see any news as to what was done with this info. Is there anyone out there that was able to use the info from the MRI and get a repair to the injured area and be cured? I am in Vermont for the summer and looking into getting the MRI if there is any hope it can see where my problem is and get it fixed. Please respond. I need your help. Thank you.
