Checklist
A practical checklist for anyone dealing with chronic pelvic pain myths — what to record, what to ask, and when to escalate.
Myth: a normal scan means nothing is wrong. In nerve pain a normal scan is expected, not reassuring.
Myth: pelvic pain is psychological when tests are negative. Pain that follows a nerve territory and changes with posture is anatomical, whatever the tests showed.
Myth: nothing can be done. For a compressed nerve, decompression is a real, established surgical option in the right patient.
Bring your notes to the consultation; a well-documented history shortens the road to a diagnosis considerably.
