Health Organization for Pudendal Education

Dakotagirl Thanks for the inspiring words. I am trying not to worry so much about pn, but it can get hard when you dont know what you have for sure. I really miss the way I used to feel. :( But you're right, I'll be ok. And so will you. Do you have pain with sitting? I dont have much pain with sitti...

Do you have PN?

Do pudendal nerve issues come and go? I'm so confused. I have been going to a physical therapist and I was starting to feel better.

When I walk and do my stretches, my urine symptoms tend to get better. I just don't know why it's not releasing entirely. Does it just take some time sometimes??

Is it possible to just have issues with my obturator internus being too tight and causing my bladder issues without having the nerve impinged? I have done a little research and it sounds like there have been plenty of people with PFD with tight OI muscles but didn't have PN.
