Re: failed pelvic floor therapy ...
Marky, Your symptoms could be pudendal neuralgia. I am familiar with the 24/7 kind of pain you describe and I’m sorry you are dealing with it too. I did years of PT with very knowledgeable therapists and found it only caused my pain to increase. PT can be helpful when muscle tension is the underlyin...

Re: New Here, Hello All
It sounds like your symptoms are in the distribution of the pudendal nerve. In my opinion, PT is worth a good try but if you find it isn’t helping after a couple of months or your symptoms are increasing from the PT I think it is worth reconsidering with your doctor. I also think MRIs of the lumbar ...

Re: Loss sensation to urinate
Hove31, What parts of your spine were imaged? Did the doctors include your pelvis/sacrum? Also, I have found that different doctor see different things as important on MRIs. Do you know a knowledgeable doctor who may be able to look at your images and give you a second opinion? I am sorry you are go...

Re: Possible PGAD and needing support!!
Ayanna28, I am so sorry for all you have been through. I agree with Violet’s suggestion for an evaluation with a pelvic PT. Perhaps there is a muscular issue putting pressure on the PN and causing your PGAD or you have SI joint dysfunction. I also think for PGAD that an MRI of the pelvis is a good i...

Re: my PT rectal
Marky, From what I have gathered from PTs, relief should be significant in the first three months of therapy. I also think an MRI of the pelvis is a good idea to rule in/out other conditions and also to look at sacrum, the lowest part of the spine, especially the sacral nerve roots. Some end up find...

Re: my PT rectal
Marky,
In my experience, PN can cause the pain you describe. I suppose it could also be muscular. If your pain is primarily muscular, I think you will see at least some improvement through the PT within a few weeks.

Re: UTI causing PN?
SummerChild, I think if you can find a knowledgable doctor willing to look I’ve your imaging it would be a good idea to get a second opinion. I have found that different doctors see different things as important and sometimes radiologists consider some potential issues to be “incidental findings” an...

Re: Florida Doctors
Mike, While not a physician, Tracy Sher is a PT in the Orlando area who is an expert in PN with decades of experience. If I lived in Florida, she would be my first appointment. In fact, I had a Telehealth visit with her years ago to discuss my issues. She or one of her colleagues may be able to exam...

Re: mrn claustrophobia
Happyman, I have found with imaging that wearing mirrored glasses really helps. When you are lying on the table the mirrors on the glasses reflect behind you which is the open space of the room and it really does a great job tricking your brain. You could ask if your imaging place has them. If not, ...

Re: PGAD - persistent genital arousal disorder
I had the same experience as Violet with internal PT and using the wand. Both caused increased pain for me.
