Does the block numb the pain caused by PN branches ?

Hi Lernica,
My symptom is internal pain inside the area between vagina and urethral. It is not kind of pain with burning, it was like a knife holding there before I took the lyrica, then the pain became a pulling apart sensation. After I had 1st injection, the pain became like tooth ache pain. Sometimes, the pain diffuses to external labia and extents to the sitting bone. After I had PT last week, I had addition internal pain in the left side. It lasted by the day was gone. My MRI indicates I have moderate edema in the urogenital diaphragm. I don't know how it is related to my pain. I have scheduled MRI with Dr. Potter next month. Just can't wait to get it done.
Best regards,
M

And you've received a diagnosis of PN? Who diagnosed you? And how do you think you compromised your nerve?

BTW, the stabbing, pulling and toothache pains are all familiar to most of us.

DX with Houston team. I guess long time sitting.
I am wondering if anyone has pain in the same area as I have ?

Mulan, I think your pain is very similar to what I experienced. I had internal pain that felt like a knife on one side of the vagina diffusing to the surrounding tissues -- urethral area, labia, sit bone, etc. It started out as a toothache feeling but eventually it caused the OI muscles to go into spasm and I ended up with burning pain in the inner/upper thighs also.
