For years, Lorrie Bruno lived with relentless pelvic pain that disrupted nearly every part of her life. Her symptoms, severe rectal pain, difficulty passing urine and bowels, and a constant sensation of having a urinary tract infection, were dismissed or misdiagnosed time and again. She was placed on treatments that worsened her symptoms, leaving her feeling hopeless and unsure where to turn.
That changed the day she walked into PRM.
Finding the Right Answers
At her very first visit, Lorrie was thoroughly evaluated and, for the first time, received an accurate diagnosis: pelvic floor dysfunction and vulvodynia. Same-day pelvic nerve injections helped calm her nervous system, offering near-immediate relief. She was also prescribed medications to reduce inflammation and nerve sensitivity, while being supported with pelvic floor physical therapy and daily stretches.
This comprehensive plan which included the PRM Protocol™, addressed not just her symptoms, but the root causes of her pain. For Lorrie, being heard and respected was as important as the medical treatments themselves.
Life After PRM
Within months, Lorrie’s pain dropped from 8–10/10 to 0–2/10. She now feels “98% better” and is able to return to activities she once thought were impossible.
“Finding PRM was life-changing,” she shares. “From the very first visit, I finally felt hopeful. The respect, knowledge, and immediate relief I experienced showed me that I wasn’t alone and that healing was possible.”
Lorrie’s Advice to Others
Lorrie encourages anyone living with chronic pelvic pain not to give up. She stresses the importance of finding a care team that listens, validates, and offers both immediate and long-term solutions. Consistency, she says, whether with stretches, PT, or follow-up care, is key.
Most importantly, she wants others to know that relief is possible. “They’ve really changed my life.”
