You could try a PN block and if your pain goes away for a few hours, you can reasonably say the pain is coming from the PN.

Many people have reported flare of symptoms when the area where pudendal nerve runs was pressed. I was recalling my earlier PT sessions and DRE tests performed by a doctor. I have never had any immediate jolt of pain or experienced any delayed flare while I've had these tests or manipulated internal...

Hello pontormo,

How are you doing these days?

Thanks violet you've been very helpful. The mental part of it is very difficult for me. I think about the accident every single day and I get angry at myself for being so careless, etc. It was just the wrong motion in the wrong spot and it's caused me so much frustration.
