CanNot

Thanks @Sherylfor the pointer! 

My neurologist suggested the differential diagnostic. He wanted to refer me to a "pain specialist" which can do the procedure. 

I like to get some research done beforehand as the referred doctor is sometimes hit and miss and afterwards I find out that there might be a better option.

For what purpose? Usually this is done as an anesthetic during childbirth or certain medical procedures.

The suspected diagnoses is "Pudendal neuralgia". A diagnosis step is the pudendal nerve block (a positive effect of anaesthetic infiltration of the pudendal nerve).

Hello, 

does anybody got a pudendal nerve block done? What was your experience. 

Any doctor recommendation in Bumrungrad? 

Thanks in advance.

Co&Caffee on Pratamnak Soi 4 is what you are looking for.   It has decent coffee and a co-working space upstairs with fast wi-fi so they won't mind if you sit there for hours as that is what they are offering.  

Thank you, will definitely go there and will try it out!

You want to take up space in a Thai shop for hours?? Let me guess, you want free wi-fi.....555.

Buy some chicken nuggets in Big C Extra's KFC for pitance then use their wi-fi to "work".

 

Other wise, pay a small amount and use the services of places like coworker;

Hello, 

I'm looking for a coffee shop suggestion where I can sit with my notebook for some hours and get some work done. Preferably in jomtien. 

Comfortable sitting and a quiet environment would be perfect.

Agree with above ... look at the far reaches of the rail lines, preferably without a transfer along the way, where you usually need to be in town.  

That's super helpful, thank you!

I did my antibodytest just last Wednesday here at Bangkok Hospital, Chiang Mai, but they will certainly also offer this service in their Bangkok Head Office. They take your blood, waiting time for the test result was 1.5 hours, and the costs were THB 1,100.00. I got a printout of my test result.

Thanks for the info, it's the cheapest so far. Let me check the price in Bangkok

You do not need a "better hospital". You need a specialist in tinnitus to rule out any treatabkle causes. (Often there isn't one, be forewarned)

 

All hospitals have some sub-par doctors, most have at least a few good ones.Nothing to do wit  the hospital.

 

Recommended specialists for tinnitus:

Actually LSP can have a very wide range of causes, including: tumors, hematomas, infections, trauma, vasculitis, and other inflammatory processes. An aggressive search for the cause should be made as treatment will vary depending on this. An electromyogram may be4 needed to distinguish LPS from other neuroapthies

 

See  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK556030/

 

In terms of doctor - I suggest  https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Weeraworn-Nakarawat

 

 

Thanks @Sheryl, as always your input is very helpful. Especially the scientific paper, which caused me to bring it up with the Dr. and do additional blood tests (MRI & EMG was done).

I am actually with Dr. Weeraworn at the moment. Which I'm in fact very happy with, however do you have a Dr. suggestion for a second opinion?
