New position (Shoskes)

Post by dshoskes »

I have updated my website with the information that I have accepted a position at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio starting in early July 2005, pending Ohio licensure and Board of Governor approval. I am very excited to have the chance to collaborate with Dr. Potts at the Clinic who has access to PT's with expertise in trigger point massage, something I never was able to find in South Florida. I believe that with our combined forces, we will be able to offer the most comprehensive diagnostic and treatment protocols of any prostatitis clinic.

The chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome sufferers of Ohio are lucky indeed to have such a clinic in their state! :-D

As a current patient of Dr. Potts, I am very pleased with this news. I have made much progress with Dr. Potts, who advocates nearly the same approach as the Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol and recommend her highly as a competent physican and compassionate doctor. I have seen both the PTs (Betsie O'Dougherty and Beth Anderson) who work with her at Cleveland Clinic and recommend them highly. I look forward to meeting Dr. Shoskes.

I'm glad you found a position at a compassionate clinic. Combining research with compassionate care is critical to advancement in knowledge and treatment of CPPS. It warms my heart to know people like you are working to help us.

* Age:33 Onset: February 2004.
* 99.9% IMPROVEMENT in 2.5 Years with the first year being the really hard part
* Current Symptoms: Mild irritation of perineal muscles on occasion. Relieved for days at a time by a specific stretch (see below).
* Initial Symptoms: Terrible penile, urethral, rectal, and perineal burning/aching with addition afferent sensations.
* Current Treatments: Deep stretching of the legs and pelvis. Most effective: Deep psoas and levitar ani stretch using the first phase of the "pigeon pose" from Yoga. When a deep pulling is felt in the middle of the pelvis next to the upper rectum, symptoms are completely alleviated for several days.
* Past Treatments Hyperprotection of the perineum for 1.7 years, Walking, Rectal biofeedback, Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol, Conditioned deep relaxation practice, Men's Multi-Vitamin and an Extra B-complex pill, all seemed to help.
