About once a month I get an email from women asking about my experience of the plating operation for Sympysis Pubis Dysfunction (Pelvic Girdle Pain). I absolutely hate not being able to write back and tell them that life is wonderful for me now, that painkillers are a thing of the past and that having the operation was the single best decision of my medical life. No, I don’t regret the operation but equally no, I am not fixed is about all the news that I can impart. More rambling and less concisely, obviously. I always reply to these emails, as the information and support I received from fellow sufferers whilst I was making the decision to have the operation was incredibly helpful. PINS (Pelvic Instability Network Scotland), a really amazing charity, are brilliant about passing on email addresses so people can get the information they need. It is the only UK SPD organisation, other than Pelvic Partnership, that I am aware of. I would be happy to be wrong about this, though!
