Health Organization for Pudendal Education

For the last few months, the correlation between my level and pain and time of day has been opposite of what is typically seen in people with PN. I wake up in the morning with noticeable pelvic discomfort which goes away when I get up and move around. If I try to sit on my cushion or stand for a lon...

I had PGAD really bad last year and effexor almost completely took it away. I still get it every now and then (mainly triggered by arousal or by things that cause increase in PN pain) but it only stays for a couple minutes.

Lot of snow and ice expected tomorrow so I canceled my appointment, it will be the 26th instead.

I believe my PN is caused by violent spasms and contractions of my pelvic muscles during orgasm since that is what caused my first flare up and since has pretty much been the only cause of flare ups I've had. I don't experience any genital pain with orgasm however, so I was wondering if it were poss...

Sorry for double posting, but what is the recommendation on frequency if I do decide to go through with PT? I'll probably only be able to afford once a month. Is that too infrequent?

Soon I am going to make an appointment with this place to get an evaluation. http://www.pelvicfloorandcore.com/ They have a page with a lot of information on pudendal neuralgia and they claim to have successfully treated PN and even list the causes of PN for which there have been successful treatmen...

That's interesting, thank you for sharing that. I never did any prolonged stretches and I'll be sure not to try them unless my PT thinks it's a good idea.

I don't think I have entrapment because stretching that area actually relieves pain instead of causing it for me, but I do think I have a really tight pelvic floor, it always feels swollen (seeing a pelvic floor specialist soon to get it figured out). Are all abdominal exercises off limits for me? A...
