MRN many locations

Post by polarbear »

Hi everyone,

Dr. Filler has 19 MRN facilities throughout the states. I was told you can get the scan at any location and Dr Filler reads all scans. I found one in Ohio, only a 4 hour car ride. Much better than 11 hour car ride to New York to see Dr Potter for T3-MRI.

I know there is much debate about T3-MRI vs MRN, however I like that Dr Filler reads all scans from all locations, because he has a patent on the MRN. This is much more convenient for persons with difficulty traveling.

Just an fYI

While I acknowledge the convenience of the many MRN locations, you have to realize that [even according to Dr.Filler] the MRN cannot visualize the smaller branches of the pudendal nerve. It is based on an older 1.5 Tesla MRI technology that offers less resolution.

Gail,
Sadly it was not successful at all. I am 1 year post op. I have posted my history in the case updates section if you are interested.

Hi Ezar,

Sorry to hear your surgery was unsuccessful, I will read your entire situation in case studies as suggested.

Where do you go from here? Is more recovery time needed?

Dr.Filler decompressed the pudendal around the piriformis and furthermore even disconnected the piriformis completely as I subsequently discovered. This was based on the MRN findings. In all likelihood, this was not the correct location and it managed to increase the pudendal nerve pain.
