Health Organization for Pudendal Education

Hi Helen and Calluna....and thank you blightcp for your prayers. Yes, wonderful news. :D Better than I could have hoped for, just having a GP on `our` side and ready to refer makes all the difference. I`ll lend her to you Helen :D but really wish you could find a GP so nice and understanding. Thanks...

Hi Rea and welcome As you`ll see I`m newish to this too, but I printed off info of PN, highlighted all my symptoms, which were all of them. Wrote a covering letter and asked my GP her opinion. As you`ll see by the post`s above she got back to me, and has agreed my symptoms could be PN and now I`ve g...

Following on from my post above, and discussion with GP: Yah a result!! The GP said that it probably is pudendal neuralgia. I then explained I`d been to physio and told her the physio`s findings,(post above)and asked her opinion after she`d heard what had been diagnosed during my treatment this morn...

Hi all I`m just back from my 1st physio session with the young woman I found who deals with pelvic conditions. I may have mentioned earlier that she also works for the NHS at our local hospital. (My phone appointment with my GP is later today) Her findings on examination : Hypersensitive points in l...

Hi Helen, I`m trying not to get too hopeful, The doctor may just be polite, because I did ask her opinion as an ending to my letter? Eeek, I may not like her opinion :( Seems strange, that she`d like to discuss it though? So I do have a glimmer of hope filtering through here... I`ve been rehearsing ...

Thanks calluni and Helen I`m taking all of your advice, and it`s helping, especially the ice and tramadol, thanks. An update this end:- I originally wrote to a lady GP I `d been seeing, enclosed the info of PN, highlighted my symptoms, which were all of them, but I didn`t hear back from her. So I mo...

Oh and calluna, good luck with your improvement after recent surgery. x
I meant the diazepam may have relaxed a muscle ( not released it) doh!

Hi again blightcp, hope you`re all ok over the pond. Thanks for your angle to approaching my GP, asking to see a specialist in pelvic pain will be easy to ask. I`m grateful for all the help I`m getting to open the conversation with my doc. I`m dreading the appointment -but this is all wrong as the G...

What a great post calluna, thank you. It`s given me lots to think about, get my head clear, as to whether I have Prudendal Neuralgia or not, before I go to the GP armed with literature that says I do! Yes, I have pain (not numbness) in the area you described. I also have awful pain after emptying my...

Wow thanks Helen, we must`ve been posting at the same time because after answering blightcp, I saw you`d posted too. Thank Goodness for your reply, I thought I was going mad! I knew I`d seen it written on everywhere I looked, that PN cannot be picked up on a CT. I believe you`re right, the GP was mo...
