Hello. My name is Michaela. I'm 30 years old. I've been suffering from PN for about a year now. It happened to me one day after I got home from the gym doing squats. I have pain but my biggest problem is frequency/urgency. I went thru the series of 3 nerve blocks that didnt help me at all and now my doctor suggested a surgery. I really want to get pregnant tho. He told me he didnt really have a problem with it but I have be prepared to suffer. Is there anyone who was successfully pregnant with this condition?
Also, did anyone have the decompression surgery? What was the outcome?
If anyone has any info or experience please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!!!
Michaela

Re: PN and pregnancy
"Be prepared to suffer"...wow, you need a different doctor! 
I got PNE as a result of vaginal delivery. However we have had ladies here who had PNE, had surgery, got relief, and went on to have babies (PN doesn't affect fertility). I think they all delivered by c-section.
Anyway, there's a lot of hope, so please don't be scared by what you're being told.

PNE as a result of childbirth, 2002. Treatment by the Houston team, with neurosurgery by Dr. Ansell in 2004. My left side ST and SS ligaments were found to be grown together, encasing the pudendal nerve.
I am cured. I hope you will be, too.
There are no medical answers on the forum. Your only hope is to go to a doctor. I was very happy with the Houston team, which has treated the most PNE patients (well over 400), more than any other US provider.
