All,
MaryLee over on TIPNA said she got the Potter MRI protocols set up in Pittsburgh and you can email her for details. Her MRI results were amazing I think was the statement. She is a veteran and managed to get this worked out. It might be worth looking into for a different location than NYC. Hopefully one of the moderators has access to TIPNA to get more info, I just browse.

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.

I emailed MaryLee. She gave me the below link to the hospital

You would need to refer to it as "pudendal nerve mri for Tesla 3".

So pleased that this imaging service is expanding, anyone who is interested will still need to have a good radiologist who is PN aware to read and report on the scan I believe.
Fall 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.
