General Information

PN Insurance Information - Les has prepared a collection of documents that he has found extremely useful for convincing an insurance company to pay up. They also contain info on treatment outcome success and other subjects. Please send him an email requesting this information and he will reply with attachments. Thanks Les!

Sitting Cushion - The overall best special sitting cushion for PN seems to be these. Note the cutout in the center, where the area served by the pudendal nerve is located. The 3" thick model is the favorite. And the price is right, at only $23.00. Like all foam cushions, if you have to you can carve it a little further for a custom fit. Thanks Celeste!
