PNE surgery warning
Posted: Sat May 17, 2008 3:26 pm
I had a guitar string like pain from my prostate down thru the sitbone to my left heel (funny how that side always has problems 3:1 vs right). Felt like my Achilles tendon was tearing in half. Have seen several other members mention the string plucking symptom. Mine seemed to originate from over aggressive hamstring stretches.
There should probably be a sticky for lurkers, browsers etc.. about PNE. One kid, Mr. J lets call him, was looking forward to his surgery trip like "a kid at Christmas" (his description). Once people get surgery, bacteria etc on their mind, it's hard to stop them. What's unusual is that many with symptoms less frightening than numerous men here (who have greatly recovered) are going from onset to surgery in less than 6-9 months.
Info on this is much more available now than years ago. The problem is that many have noticed a large decrease in symptoms (50-70% or more) within about 24 months or less of time regardless of what they did after onset, without surgery. This is about the same recovery reported 12 or 18 months after surgery. There seems to be a large bias in success with women who have had hysterectomies. (I believe the ligaments in question are actually sutured and disturbed in a hysterectomy), and the number with problems (amongst the 10s of thousands of hysterectomies every year) seems small.
There have probably been less than 2000 of these surgeries worldwide in the last 9 years, done by less than 20 physicians. Most have been done by less than 8-10 it seems. This is probably in comparison to 1million? 5million? heart bypasses and operations done worldwide (perhaps one of the DR.s here could help with the #'s) and at least 100,000 (a quarter million? more?) surgeons who could qualify to perform the release surgery. For 2000 or so surgeries the documentation and publications are scarce (and they don't need to be).
A Sticky Post of the type "Yes we know about the PNE theory and these are some facts" in bold, standing out for all passers by to see would be very useful. This is all relevant because of the availability of info now can have a determined boy (for the quick fix) in France, Houston etc in less than 3 months (similar to our bacterial folks with Dr Song). Especially when they start on the "better get it done early for successful results" stuff.
Webslave would have to evaluate this but I've heard numerous comments somewhat similar to Mr. J's on the other board and the "kid at Christmas" thing blew me away.
