Pelvic Pain Treatment - Success Story

"I had terrible pelvic pain, especially after standing for long periods of time. It really limited my ability to work and exercise. The only way I could get relief was to lie down or elevate my legs. I was told repeatedly that there was nothing that could be done, except possibly a hysterectomy, which would be high-risk and might not work. I then read about a procedure called pevic vein embolization. I asked for a referral to an Interventional Radiologist, and immediately was able to see one of the SDI physicians. He ordered an MRI, which showed enlarged veins in my pelvis (pelvic vein varices). Based on the MRI and my symptoms, he said I was a candidate for the procedure. The procedure was easy. I didn't feel much at all during the procedure, and went home the next morning. I was back to normal in a few days, and completely pain-free in a week. Five years later, I have no pain and have my uterus and ovaries intact. I highly recommend the SDI Interventional Radiologists to anyone. "
