So sorry to hear that your friend has not had any improvement in her symphysis pubis dysfunction. In addition to the harness, was she sent to physical therapy and/or given exercises to do?
Has her doctor referred her to an orthopedic surgeon?
Two sites I found said that surgical repair of spd was not particularly effective. Is your friend's doctor very optimistic that this is the proper solution? Has she had a second opinion?
We would love to have her share her story. No doubt she would be a help to any woman going through this.
