Re: 3t MRI
Jen,
Johns Hopkins in Baltimore has an Magnetic Resonance Neurography (MRN) which listed the following at the start of my report:
RESULT:
INDICATION: Left pudendal neuralgia
TECHNIQUE: High resolution MRI was performed of the pelvis employing MR neurography techniques on a 3-Tesla system using multiplanar 3-D anatomical and fluid sensitive sequences per the descrpition on my MRN report.
To note Dr. Marvel said the MRN was being done to eliminate other problems, not to diagnose PN/PNE.
Also, this is not a Dr. Filler MRN as described in chapter 12 of Dr. Dellon's pain solution book.
It took me about a month to get in for the MRN March 2011

2007-08 pelvic muscles spasms treated by EGS. 6/27/10 sat too long on hard chair- spasms, EGS not work Botox help, cortisone shots in coccyx help, still pain, PT found PNE & sent me to Dr Marvel nerve blocks & MRN, TG left surgery 5/9/11. I have chronic bunion pain surgery at age 21. TG gave me back enough sitting to keep my job & join in some social activities. I wish the best to everyone! 2019 luck with orthotics from pedorthist & great PT allowing me to get off oxycodone.
Re: 3t MRI
Jen,
The MR Neurography read by Dr. Filler is done in many US cities. As you will see from this forum, there is a lot of controversy about the MRI vs MRN. No one else to my knowledge does the 3T MRI looking at the pudendal nerve other than Dr. Potter. I know the wait times are frustrating.

Re: 3t MRI
Thanks for the information. I guess I will keep trying to get in with Dr. Potter, my surgery with Conway is scheduled in September, I guess I will have to postpone. Carolynm I see you have a MRI scheduled with Dr. Potter coming up, how long was your wait time?
Thank you
Thank you

Jen, read this post by PN Sufferer:

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

Re: 3t MRI
Cari,
Two months is long, every thing seems to be a big waiting game!! they are telling me December, meanwhile it feels like someone is cutting my leg off , and I have sciatic pain so bad I cant walk , and I can barely stand, awwwhh to go back to the days where my crotch was just on fire, that pretty sad. I wish you the best of luck on your test, let me know how things go.
thanks
