Re: Opioids in America

That's a good point that the availability of opiods may differ from state to state, and that some doctors are more willing to prescribe opiods than others.

Good luck with PT. Hope it goes well for you.

Re: I think I have PN

I think one of the main reasons for seeing a PT initially is for an evaluation. I was actually diagnosed correctly by a PT when the local doctors had no clue. Whether or not they can help you would depend on what the underlying cause is for your pain. Lots of people masturbate without getting pudend...

Re: Advice on type of nerve conduction study (NCS) and/or electromyography (EMG) for pelvic pain?

Maybe you could call Dr. O'Brien's office and see if they know of anyone in the UK who does NCS or EMG for pelvic pain?

Hi Mari,

Glad to hear the injections are helping. Sounds like pretty dramatic improvement and I hope it continues!

Re: Has anyone had this happen during recovery

I can't blame you for being pessimistic. I was scared after surgery. It is not unusual for months 3 and 4 to be the worst part of recovery as the nerve is waking up. So please hang in there and don't give up hope completely. You've had this for 7 years so it's not going to go away quickly. I wasn't ...

Re: Can steroid injection to S2-S4 help PN

You could potentially try a dorsal clitoral nerve block for diagnostic purposes if that is the only place you are having pain. It is one of the branches of the pudendal nerve.

Re: I think I have PN

If you have clothing that rubs in the wrong place it can cause friction when walking and increase your pain. Some people with PN have to wear really loose clothing, especially around the panty line. But I had pain when walking no matter what I was wearing so sometimes it's just the friction of the n...

Re: PGAD - persistent genital arousal disorder

Good idea to get a second opinion. I could be way off base, and I hope I am, but I am coming from the experience of having my gyn tell me not to have a pelvic floor repair because it could increase my PN pain if the pelvic floor was pulled too tightly. I'm not sure what the treatment would be but I'...

Re: Is PN always one sided?

Pelvic floor PT aggravated my pain before PNE surgery too. I decided to stop doing it because I couldn't see the point in aggravating an already irritated nerve. It depends on the PT as to whether they will give you a diagnosis. Mine diagnosed me when the local doctors had no clue. She pressed on th...

Re: PGAD - persistent genital arousal disorder

SweetMama, If you have formed scar tissue after a hysterectomy, it could potentially cause entrapments on both sides. I'm not saying that's for sure what has happened but theoretically, it is possible. Or if the pelvic floor was pulled tight on both sides it could theoretically cause a stretch of th...
