Re: What medication has worked best for your PN pain?
The Baclofen is 10 mg but more effective if I use 20 mg But like you I'm careful how much and how often I use it. And I don't really like the way it makes me feel.

Re: What medication has worked best for your PN pain?
Bart For PN pain and PGAD I am currently using Amitriptyline at a low dose of 10 to 20 mg and find it much more effective with fewer side effects than Gabapentin. But it is an anticholinergic drug, so it comes with baggage. I try to take it only when my symptoms are flaring really badly. For the bla...

Re: Where can I get a pudendal nerve block in TEXAS?
Thank you Violet! I got a pudendal nerve block last week.
I'd be most appreciative if you could take a look at my post about it on this other thread:

Thanks

Where can I get a pudendal nerve block in TEXAS?
Hello. Female longtime PGAD sufferer here.
I would prefer San Antonio/Austin/Houston areas but really I am willing travel anywhere in Texas to someone experienced in doing pudendal nerve blocks, possibly the dorsal clitoral nerve.

Re: my experience with vaginal trigger point injections
It seemed so good, it's hard to see you at the baseline again. Keep pushing forward I know. It's sad that I had to keep my expectations very very low so I could appreciate any improvement, however small. But I am glad that I finally reached out to this doctor, as it had been some years since I've b...

Re: my experience with vaginal injections & a few meds
I am circling back here to followup on how things have been since late June when I completed the 6 rounds of weekly trigger point injections: My symptoms of pudendal neuralgia, PGAD, and lower left ab pain have been greatly reduced (by about 75%) compared to the months long flare-up I was in prior t...

Re: my experience with vaginal trigger point injections
Just mere hours after my last post I awoke around midnight with the beginnings of a flare starting in my left vulva. Uggh!! I tried to push it out of my mind and go back to sleep but no luck so I took a muscle relaxer, Pyridium, and some Tylenol as well as my evening dose of Gabapetin which I had fo...

Re: my experience with vaginal trigger point injections
Still flaring badly. In one week I'm supposed to have the 4th round of injections but instead I may ask for a bladder instillation containing lidocaine or similar. When the PGAD flares my bladder is just as angry as my clitoris and left vulva. I started on Cymbalta and Gabapentin recently but they h...
