Re: PT Therapists in Los Angeles? Any recommendations?

Pelvic Pain Rehab (see website) has an office on the westside on Olympic. This would be very convenient for you.

Good news for Los Angeles patients.

Stephanie Prendergast is opening a branch in the West LA area in May. This is great news as she and her business partner are leaders in the field of treating CPPS and have a renowned practice in the Bay Area. Check out Www.pelvicpainrehab.com for more info. Also I would also highly recommend Dan Kir...

Re: Looking for a uro in LA area

Question about zeitlin - does insurance cover him. If not what kind of out of pocket cost could I expect.

Re: Chicagoland PT

I went to Rhonda Kotarinos' office. I'm surprised she is not listed here as she is a leader in the PT treatment of CPPS. I went to her associate Maureen Okeefe until I left L.A. - definitely worth the investment. They don't take insurance so if you have insurance you will need to submit the claims (...

Re: Chicago PT recommendation?

Guy - 2 things: 1) I saw Sheila Dugan. She seems fairly competent and is part of the integrated chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome program at Rush. I worked the entire program but it was not nearly as helpful as PT. 2) Regarding KOTARINOS insurance. True - they don't take insurance, ...

Re: Brain's Connection to Pain

This is really interesting. It's amazing how we can interpret pain differently. Which, again, explains why the mind / cognitive component to all of this is significant.

Re: Dr. Salahadin Abdi, University of Miami

Jay - I was disheartened and sad to hear that you had relapsed to the point where you've been bedridden. You've been such an inspirtation, educator and encourager to so many of the people on the board. I'm hoping that you will begin to heal again and make continued progress. My thoughts and best wis...

Re: Cleveland Clinic

So is it possible to be a chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome patient and still not have the pelvic muscle tenderness and simply have LUTS for instance?? I'm a little confused - sorry??

Re: Cleveland Clinic

I met with the bariatric internist today and he told me that he would not recommend nor do surgery on me due to my urinary issues. He felt that the weight loss surgery coupled with what I am going through currently would be too traumatic / painful. On the other hand I've lost another 3 lbs and so th...
