Cryoblation protocol correction
I posted incorrect information regarding the protocol Dr. Prologo uses. Its a 7 minute freeze cycle then a couple minute warming period then another 7 minute freeze cycle. Any Interventional Radiologist can do it if they have a cryoablation system. Boston Scientific made the one my doctor in Honolul...

Re: Cryoablation by a Kaiser Doctor in San Jose
Interestingly, I had gall bladder removal surgery 11 months ago and have had severe nausea and fatigue ever since.
A new doctor finally figured out it's being caused by my Suboxone. Turns out any opiate affects your GI system in ways that can cause my exact same symptoms!

Cryoablation and RF Ablation
I've been scheduled for cryoablation on 6/27/24, with a nerve block the day before. I've had two nerve blocks done by Dr. Lawrence Poree, who is now at UCSF in San Francisco. He did them at the ischial spine using fluoroscopy for visualization and a needle probe with a speaker on it that could pass ...

Wow! Very encouraging. My pain is flared up so I had to just scan your posts. But congratulations! I'm impressed! Very generous of you to share all this. There's also a Reddit Pudendal Neuralgia group and a few on Facebook. You could also purchase your story on YouTube. Please let the group know exa...

Cipro and Other Medications That Could Worsen Pudendal Neuralgia
Not to be an alarmist, but I was surprised to recently read about someone who had their pain return after taking Cipro, a commonly prescribed antibiotic. I checked it out, and it turned out that apparently there are several drugs where the risks and benefits have to be considered before taking them ...

Pulsed RF Ablation Stories? Or PRP Stories?
.Has anyone tried pudendal nerv0⁰radiofrequency ablation, aka RF ablation, PRF, and CRF? Or, have you had PRP (platlet-Rich Plasma) treatment?

I just learned that Interventional Radiologist Dr. Eric King offers pudendal nerve cryoablation. From what I've read, it lasts fron 6 weeks to 6 months and can be repeated. The idea for any kind of pudendal neuralgia, including radiofrequency ablation, aks RF ablation, PRF and CRF, is to disrupt the...
