I've been dealing with SIJ issues and impact periformis syndrome for years now. It takes a real lifestyle change and a strong commitment to persist with all the stretching etc. if like me you get better and forget about it all for a while I guarantee it will come back to haunt you. So my advice is p...

I should think there are many people of both sexes who have PGAD either on its own or a mixture of that and PN/PNE. But they choose to discuss it in a closed forum because some unscrupulous people may take advantage of their condition.

Hi Lenore, Yes it sounds like your PN is irritated as that is definitely the nerve that connects to your clitoris and other bits. But moving on to your hip and one leg shorter than the other. That is a classic symptom of SIJ (sacral Illiac joint) alignment problems. Have any Oesteopaths told you thi...

Well my muscle spasm is easing and the burning PN appears to be easing a fraction some of the time! So fingers crossed.

I'm also exploring a link between the use of PPIs and this PN/muscle spasm.

So I will bow to an expert. At the mo your current symptoms sound very like mine. So would I let some doc give me a nerve bloc...

Well I'm still continuing with my plan and I'm no worse and may even be a little better? I've had a couple less night sweats and sleeping much better. I'm working at lots of deep breathing, long stretches and lots of walking plus my usual exercise program. Still no meds but I may occasionally use an...

Just a quick update. I'm continuing with yoga, running, general exercise and stretching. Acupuncture is helping the muscle spasm. Not convinced that Gabapentin is making any difference at the dose I'm taking. Not increasing it as it gives me headaches. But may stop it over Christmas and see what hap...

Hi,
It sounds like you have found a trigger point for your Prudendal nerve. I would advise you stop irritating it. Have you seen a Pelvis Floor Therapist yet?
