Health Organization for Pudendal Education

Hi Whyohwhy, I think body chemistry is a dark art and doctors only pretend to know what is going to happen if they prescribe propecia, or atorvastatin or any other modern pharmaceutical. My issues started the same time my dose of atorvastatin, (for high cholesterol), was increased. I just recently l...

Hi Violet, Dry Needling is just part of what she does. I'm just a little skeptical about this therapy. But the pain is making me more open minded about it. "For PNE we perform recommendations to improve your quality of life currently, hands on manual techniques to address any connective tissue ...

Hi Janet, thanks. I did the search, I couldn't find a lot that applied, but at this point it doesn't look like dry needling would make things worse... I'm cautious and perhaps skeptical about things that have too little validation. dry needling? Oh well, I'm not going to know unless I try it. Thanks...

Thanks again Violet! There's a lot of information to digest...when I skipped to the summary it was overall positive, but it didn't cite any studies...hmmm.

I wasn't aware until I read this article that there were separate conditions with separate possib...

Like I said, not a doctor...I do feel better today than yesterday. If it's the exercises I found on the videos or something else, can't say for sure.

All I know is I can walk again!

I'm not a doctor...don't play one on TV...and don't really know anything too much other than my symptoms... That said it could be nerve related. I went round and round with my doctors only to come up with the diagnosis of "pelvic pain". In other words they know something in my pelvis is ca...

Hi I'm John, 61yo male and I've been having typical PN issues for over a year now. I live in Fort Worth Texas. I was an avid cyclist for about 20 years prior to the problems developing, and told this to every doctor who examined me. Even with this information in hand it took them over a year and num...
