The article was a study done with a few athletes who had this, and with good results. I have a patient who has suffered from osteitis pubis for almost 2 years; prior MMK, who fell over side of bathtub and initiated the problem. I have given her 2 injections as above, with about 70% improvement so far for 3 months. Patrick

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
