New York
Five persistent myths about chronic pelvic pain, seen through the experience of patients in New York, where sitting, commuting and desk work dominate the day.
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.
Video consultations are scheduled for Eastern Time so New York patients do not need to take a day off to be assessed.
