I saw Professor Calstedt a few weeks ago. I wasn't overly impressed. He is an "auto-didact" he told me and that he only started doing the Pudendal surgery recently because Baronowski asked him to treat some of his patients. He did no physical examination despite me paying him £250 even though I asked him to as I had travelled a long distance to see him. He also said I had piriformis syndrome from his brief request to bend my leg towards me to the side. He didn't go to see how Professor Robert does the TG approach it or see what other Drs. do to treat their patients, he just read up on the surgery himself. He operates one side at a time and he cuts both ligaments. He also makes a large incision on each buttock even though he cuts both ligaments (which would give him the maximum view). I left after an hour of discussion and questioning feeling a little deflated and that I had wasted my time and money. Better to stick with the more experienced Drs in this area was the impression I left with.

That's rather disappointing Ms Wise, is that the first mention of a piriformis diagnosis? What do you think you will do from here?
Good luck whatever choice you make.

Ms Wise

Thank you for your update regarding Dr Carlstedt. Its not always positve when we hear about certain medical personnel. i hope that you can find the results you are searching wherever you can.

As for the link i posted it is working fine for me.....http://www.londonnervecentre.co.uk/thomas_carlstedt.php

How disappointing indeed, Ms Wise. Prof C doesn't do the diagnostic work, as I'm sure you already know, just the surgery, and of course he usually works with Dr Baranowski - but you've already seen Dr Filler and got a diagnosis, haven't you - that included a mention of piriformis if memory serves me. I wonder why Prof C was not willing to take this further. There was some talk in recent months that he was thinking of retiring, but he is still working.

I too would be interested to hear what are you thinking of doing next. And I do hope that they have your pain under control.
