New to Florida - Recommendations?
I had a great PN doctor in California, but I have moved to Vero Beach Florida and can't sem to find anyone near here who does PN blocks or ablations. Does anyone know of a doctor within an hours drive of this city? Thanks!
Middle aged male suffering excruciating pain from pudendal neuralgia since 2013. Tried nerve blocks, caudal block, back surgery, and a dozen different medications. Surgery 2018. My condition grows worse every month. Can not sit at all.

You might want to check with larger pain management clinics in nearby areas like Melbourne or Port St. Lucie—they often have specialists who handle PN blocks or ablations. You could also reach out to hospitals in the area and ask for their pain management departments.
Another option is to look online through resources like Healthgrades or Zocdoc, where you can filter by specialty and location to find someone within an hour’s drive.
If you’re planning some relaxation after settling in, you can get info on local vacation options.

You could check the PT listings for Florida and one of them might be able to direct you to a doctor. Maybe Tracy Sher on this list would know someone.

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
