I find this myofascial release therapy interesting. I also had a spinal fusion down my back for scoliosis in 1975 at Fairview Hospital in Minneapolis, MN when I was 17. In 1978, they did it over again because there were spots down my spine that hadn't fused. I had Dr. Moe, who actually studied under Dr. Harrington, who the rod is named after. My back has been fine, but I have a lot of pain on my tailbone and rectal area and across my buttocks that has been diagnosed as pudendal nerve pain. I've had this for 13 years now . . .I really try to avoid sitting at all! I have recently started on gabapentin but that doesn't seem to be working. I had pudendal nerve entrapment surgery in 2010, but that only took the pain away for 7 months. I guess now I am starting to wonder if this pain could be coming from my scoliosis surgeries because my rod went down to either L-4 or L-5. I either stand or lie on ice. . .the pain can be more than I can handle somedays.
