PN Injection needed in the New York area

Hey, I've got someone emailing me about her condition. She's had PN symptoms that have come for good periods of time and then gone for long periods of time. This is the third time she's gotten them now. I've emailed Dr. Sheldon Jordan with her history (as written from her) and he's recommending a PN injection. However, she's got no money or insurance so I'm trying to find her someone who can give an accurate guided PN injection nearer to where she lives, which I believe is in or near New York city.
Thank you for your help.
Greg

Dr. Alan Leff does Botox into the OI muscle but I don't know about PN blocks. She could check with him.

She could also call Amy Stein's office and see if they know anyone. 212.354.2622

I live in New York and am not aware of anyone who does CT guided blocks -- I ended up going to Dr Jordon in LA. Dr Harris does unguided blocks.

I do not believe Dr. Leff does pudendal blocks. He does alot with botox injections to other muscles of the pelvis. He does not believe in surgery. I saw him about 4 years ago. The closest doctors for pudendal blocks to NYC would be Dr. Howard in Rochester NY or Dr. Conway in NH. Look on the dr. page for their contact information.

Dr. Howard would probably be best. Dr. Conway doesn't perform blocks. He refers patients to Dr. Quesada in Manchester, NH for them.
Best of luck to your friend, Greg!
Kind regards,

Dr. Howard doesn't do the blocks either he refers you to Dr. Westesson who does them CT guided. Last I knew Dr. Quesada was doing them under fluoroscopy. If she doesn't have PN then either of these dr.'s would be able to figure that out. Dr. Conway will do the PNMLT but Dr. Howard does not do that testing due to the concerns over the accuracy. She would be in goods hands with either dr.

Oh! Thanks for the clarification, NYT! Yes, you're correct about Dr. Q doing them under flouroscopy.
Dr. Conway doesn't do PNMLT's. He works with an Associate, Dr. Winefield who does (needle!) EMG testing.
