Health Organization for Pudendal Education

This morning my husband met with this 'medical guru' man ...He agreed with the diagnosis, but said he has known of people being cured by a series of injections to the pudendal nerve Presumably he's referring to the pudendal nerve blocks themselves, which are x-ray or ct-guided to within 5mm of the ...

Len, what we'd all give for a magic wand! Internal pt may or may not help some of your symptoms,there's some comments for you about this in replies to your first post 'Overwhelmed, Hurting So Bad ...' If you need to fly from Israel to either Europe or the US for treatment, then obviously you'd have...

Hi Steve, Glad your pain (presume it's perineal?) is absent on standing, so you can at least make a trip down from Scotland. Lenny33 on here is from the Scottish Highlands, he may have found out if there's anything else available to you on the NHS or otherwise. For potential nerve blocks, Dr. DeMel...

Went to (useless) pain dr the other day, he said it cannot be PN . . . . . "because it's too rare". Well he's 3 sticks short of a bundle isn't he! :evil: What an idiot. I despair of some of these pain doctors. First of all, tons of sympathy to you! Israel sounds as the UK was not so long ...

Hi Ann, many thanks for the info. . I'll likely try the non-invasive route first, but the prolo is a really interesting option if/when all else fails. I do now have the sacrowedgy, I'm small too but have the female version. Can you advise which exercises retrained your muscles best re your SIJD. I'...

Bird life - will try ice, where did you find out how to perform trigger point massage, sounds interesting? People know a tight piriformis can pinch the sciatic nerve, but the pudendal nerve lays beneath too and this set me off on the road to self-treating. After reading a link online between trigge...

Lex, it's possible you could just be in a bad flare and the Lyrica - or maybe a combination of meds - might eventually calm it right down. There are other meds you can try to see what works best for you, and have you tried ice for the burning perineum? You could look at triggerpoint massage for the...

Thankyou for that info, Calluna. The confirmation of appointment letter that arrived this morning says Dr.G. hasn't yet read my GP referral letter and things may change once he has :|. Hope not! I might go by train as advance tickets are only £10 instead of the usual ridiculous prices in the hundre...

Thanks, Violet and Laura .. yes, when the surgery faxed it through again as urgent they certainly treated it as such! What I need to find out now is whether the Bristol team will accept the National's PN findings without paperwork to back it up. Don't forget that though Dr.Curran wrote to my GP inf...

BB, this is strange - I posted a quick reply last night but its not here in the thread today :? :?: . Anyhow, I'd asked if you'd managed to get the x-ray sorted and maybe you could get your hip problem looked at while you're waiting for Dr. DeMello, so that he has the full facts before him when you...
