Hello Lori, I just scheduled dry needling with PT to see if it will provide me with some relief. I also spoke with my doctor from the pain clinic to get the full picture of what is going on with me. She said that steroids have inflamed my muscles badly, making them stiff and painful. After 18 months...

Hello April and Violet, Thank you for your support and advice! The software therapy is painful only during the treatment, and the pain goes down from 6-7 to 4-3, but unfortunately, the pain relief is not prolonged. The doctor says that we need to focus on reducing inflammation and wait for the final...

Hi there! It took 8 years, running from one doctor to another, to finally diagnose PN and pelvic floor dysfunction. My OB/GYN blocked me from his schedule because I came to him with my problem, and he thought I was absolutely crazy. All my tests came back negative, and visually he couldn’t see anyth...

After the nerve block, I went to see my urologist with many concerns about my pain and new symptoms, but she denied seeing me in the future. She said that she is Off of her limits. It was very shocking for me. I found a very good urologist, K. Peters, through this site, who has worked with PN patien...

Thank you for letting me know! I do that too plus very little massage on this area. Sometimes I feel relieved; sometimes it irritates me more. How is your sitting pain? Do you feel better? I got a call from a hospital to schedule another nerve block, and I cannot make a decision about it. I'm too sc...

Thank you for your reply, Violet. I have done all the tests possible for my pain after the block, including an MRI of the pelvis and lumbar spine with contrast on my pelvic area, and an EMG on the left side because I feel they hit my sciatic nerve too. . All of those images came back negative. Nothi...

Hi! I am so sorry you got this too! After my PN block and a trigger point injection, I had exactly the same symptoms. On day 3, I started to feel pain in my left leg, and I still have pain (after a year) in my buttocks (which I didn’t have before), left leg, and very stiff muscles! The first 3-4 mon...

Hello April, thank you for your reply. I have been struggling with pain for more than 7 years, and it started after a very intense workout. I saw 30+ doctors to diagnose my issue. When I visited the urologist in 2023, she said we should try the pudendal block with a trigger point injection. My bigge...

Hi guys, I am new to this forum. I had trigger point injections with a pudendal nerve block (intravaginally) last year (2023). I started to feel more pain after 3 days, and after a year, I have been experiencing severe pain in my piriformis muscles, both legs, and sitting area. The pain has gotten w...
