Marc,

The reference in your MRI to the thickened left pudendal nerve seems to be consistent with the left sided pain you are experiencing. I guess the big question is where do you go from here? Have you discussed pudendal nerve blocks with Prof. V?

Hi Lernica,

The Prof. was in no hurry to do the PN release operation and has recommended a second attempt at the nerve block which I will do in November. It was pretty clear he felt it was a last resort option and not something you rush into.

As my pain is not very bad I am in no hurry to do the operation. If the nerve blocks don't work I think I will go down the pain management path. I might change my mind if the pain gets worse but I feel it has levelled out over the last 12 months since I have change my lifestyle so I am sitting as little as possible.
