Hi Mike,
Sitting is the most painful thing for me also. i try to never sit at all. my dr gave directions to make a pad to us but find it's better to not sit or sit on my feet- kneel/sit so the painful part doesn't hit the chair.
i'm a hiker and don't have any worse pain when i hike long hikes. My pain is all the time though-since the injury on the backpacking trip.
Because your pain is worse when sitting you should try to find a dr who at least knows about a diagnosis of PN. i went to so many drs- every kind of workup was done- because the pain was so bad my dr kept sending me for one dr to another. i even had major gyn surgery- it didn't help the pain at all. i hae scars and feel so bad i had unnecessary surgery.
There is a dr in MD and drs in Houston that do the surgery as well as the first team of drs in France. They're neurosurgeons and sports medicine specialists.
i hope the surgery works.
You should check it out maybe.
Don't sit- it makes it worse.Take care,
kerria
