Sorry Shawn, I meant to reply to you in my last post, as well as Caluna and Helenlegs. Thanks for the information.
Take care.
Six years down the line!
Re: Six years down the line!
Jane, welcome to HOPE. I am a patient of Dr. Hibner's in Phoenix, AZ. I live in Pennsylvania, though.
I am so curious as to the UK terms of doctors:
1) What is a Dr. (such as Dr. Baranowski)
2) What is a Mr. (such as Mr. Wong)
3) What is a Professor (such as Professor Carlstedt)
I guess I just don't know the difference because over here in the US, every doctor is a Dr.
Also, an M.D. is equal to a D.O. over here, except D.O.'s have additional training in Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy.
Best,
A's Mommy

Re: Six years down the line!
A doctor is usually a medical doctor, although people who hold doctorates in other subjects (a Ph.D in other words) are also addressed as Doctor. Someone can also be MD PhD, which means that they have a medical degree, and have also written a dissertation. A surgeon is of course also a medical doctor, but as a matter of courtesy is addressed as Mr instead of Dr. In the case of a woman who is a surgeon, she is always addressed as Miss Whatever, even if she is married.
A professor is someone who holds or has held a chair in a particular subject at a university, he may also of course be a doctor or indeed a surgeon, or not. Prof Carlstedt is so addressed because he has held an assistant professorship at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. He is also an MD PhD, as well as being a surgeon. So he could choose to be addressed as Mr Carlstedt, Dr Carlstedt, or Professor Carlstedt.

Re: Six years down the line!
Wow Calluna, Thanks for that, If he could sort me out I would call him ANYTHING he wanted me to.

HelenFall 2008. Misdiagnosed with lumber spine problem. MRN June 2010 indicated pudendal entrapment at Alcocks canal. Diagnosed with complex variant piriformis syndrome with sciatic, pudendal and gluteal entrapment's by Dr Filler 2010.Guided piriformis botox injection 2011 Bristol. 2013, Nerve conduction test positive; new spinal MRI scan negative, so diagnosed for the 4th time with pelvic nerve entrapment, now recognised as Sciatic, pudendal, PFCN and cluneal nerves at piriformis level.

I find this hilarious! So quaint! So . . . English! Contrary to its purported intentions, I find this form of address to be less rather than more respectful of female surgeons.calluna wrote: In the case of a woman who is a surgeon, she is always addressed as Miss Whatever, even if she is married.
Athlete until pain started in 2001. Diagnosed with PN in Nov. 2010. Probable cause: 3 difficult labors, 5 pelvic surgeries for endometriosis, and undiagnosed hip injuries. 60% better after 3 rounds of shockwave therapy in Cornwall, Ontario (Dec - Feb/12). 99% better after bilateral hip scopes for FAI and labral tears (April and July/12). Pelvic pain life coach Lorraine Faendrich helped me overcome the mind/body connection to chronic pain: http://www.radiantlifedesign.com

Well, it is definitely English. Also Welsh, Scottish and Irish as well, though! The UK is not just England, you know.Lernica wrote:I find this hilarious! So quaint! So . . . English!

Re: Six years down the line!
Having offended many "doctors" during my life in the Uk because I always used this term rather than Mr and having been baffled by the use of the word "consultant" for "specialist", I really appreciated the explanation!
Anyway I just wanted to alert you that Dr Bautrant is thinking about opening up a consultation and possibly doing surgery in London.
I think it would be a great idea because it would create more attention to this topic and clearly would be much more convenient for those wanting to have surgery with him. He could come once a month as Filler does (not that I would recommend him).
I said I would check for him if there is any interest.
Anyone interested?
On my side I am currently followed by Bautrant.

Re: Six years down the line!
Manon,
That is great news for us in the UK, to have more choice. Does anyone know if you can have an MRN in the UK to help find the area of entrapment and then help you decide which surgery to go for?
Where in London does Dr Filler do a clinic then?
Thanks Manon for doing so much research, you are making such a big difference.

Re: Six years down the line!
Hi Manon, I read your post with interest cos I too am under Dr B. I can't say I have ever heard of Dr Filler, where does he practise? I had two decompressions done by Professor Carlstedt, he works alongside Dr B at the London Hospital of Neurology, I am surprised you have not been referred to him. I think the more experience and knowledge we have in London the better. We appear to be dragging our heels in England compared to the States.
Re: Six years down the line!
Kath, I am not sure what an MRN is. I have had two MRI's but as we all know they do not show up nerves.
I have read about a machine in New York that can pick up entrapments of the PN by 3 Tesla imaging and the doctor who reads the results is Dr Hollis POtter. To my knowledge there is no such machine in England unfortunately cos it would seem to be a major breakthrough for PNe sufferers.
