Prostatitis

Peter,

Yes, everything that I have read on both those conditions indicates that while they are chronic pain conditions and neuropathic in origin, they are difficult to control because the pacing and lifestyle adjustments are not really effective. Time to do some more research I think!

Mary

I just want to say thank you Peter and Mary for your tireless efforts in providing as much information as you can to the forum and to those in chronic pain.

Well done to both of you; your efforts are appreciated

And Brian,

Sorry to hear the full nature of your condition; it sounds very painful and I send you gentle empathy hugs. I hope the pain specialist is able to help you by bringing your pain levels down.

Fee

Thank you Fee, but you and Don do the same

Mary

thanks everyone for your quick replies; If you can find anymore info it would be greatly appreciated; check out Dr Songs 3D prostratitis clinic in China if you have time and let me know what you think. Spoke to a man in America about it; need to know if it is fair dinkum; very costly; or if there is anywhere in Australia that practises it . Drs here that I speak to about it seem to scoth at it or don't understand it. thanks again Brian

Hi Brian,

Normally I would say that if you can't find where this treatment has been thoroughly researched, then there is no evidence that it works. However, I am not qualified to make that statement and I do know of someone who had very successful cancer treatment in China. It's bad luck that you can't find someone who has had this treatment. The only thing that I noticed is that it makes mention of the "infectious" from of prostatitis because they treat with antibiotics. I understood that yours is caused by nerves. But, I guess that anyone who goes over there from overseas must have the chronic type because the type that is caused by infection is readily treated with antibiotics as Peter has said.

Sorry, I don't think I have been much help! Maybe if you troll around the internet, you may be able to find someone who has been over there.

Mary
