11. Jeroen

Jeroen has been suffering from tailbone pain for over four years and gained a lot of knowledge during his journey of treatments and approaches. In my view he knows more than most doctors and therapists about the topic. He also tried almost all medical and therapeutic options, with as most recent one the spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and here we will dive into deeply in this episode. He will share his journey in finding treatment and what he encountered in the medical and therapeutic world, and the decisions he made along the way. He also talks about what he experienced as a patient suffering from severe problems and how he managed his pain and problems to a level that doesn't interfere with his desired daily life activities. And this was quite a challenge because after the hundreds of patients I saw as a therapist (often the worst cases), Jeroen is most probably the patient that had the most severe problems that I have encountered so far.  The webpage linked to this episode you can find through this link [https://destuittherapeut.nl/podcast/podcast/jeroen-patient/].

10. Elif Gürkan

yThe guest in this episode is Dr. Elif Gürkan. She is an experienced Turkish physician that worked in several different countries. She runs her own clinic in Istanbul now and a true specialist on tailbone pain. Next to having experienced tailbone pain herself, she was one of the pioneers on this topic in her country. She treats tailbone patients for over 25 years now and saw over 3000 patients.  In this episode she shares her knowledge, experience and wisdom with us about tailbone pain. We will go into where tailbone pain comes from, what is the underlying mechanism and her experiences treating it through manual mobilisations and injections. Elif also is one of the organisers of the upcoming 5th International Symposium on Coccyx Disorders in Turkey, where she will be presenting about manual therapeutic techniques and teach a workshop.  The webpage linked to this episode you can find through this link [https://destuittherapeut.nl/podcast/podcast/elif-gurkan-medical-doctor/].

9. Marjolein

Our guest in this episode is Marjolein. Marjolein talks about her path as a patient suffering from tailbone pain and being in a lot of pain and with a lot of restrictions for many years, and where the path of finding adequate treatment led to strong desperation and even suicidal thoughts. Her tailbone problems made her inable to sit and work and in the end had serious implications for her career, sports and social life. In her search for help she often was left with nothing more then: 'we unfortunately cannot help you anymore'. In this episode you will get the expert view from the patients perspective. I think that a lot of people suffering from tailbone problems can relate to her story and can find recognition and comfort in her experiences.
