Davemom-I tried looking up dr kuthoria at Johns Hopkins and no results came back in google. Do you have their contact information?

[Lara]

Sure! He basically pushed along the course of the nerve internally. He also did the Qtip test and took a culture to make sure there was no infection. He told me I do not have PNE and that my symptoms should improve in 6 months time. My symptoms have definitelty improved however they are not completely gone and are still VERY noticeable. I have stopped making MD appts at this time, but plan on revisiting this after my baby is born if my symtoms are not better by then!

Davemom-Thanks! I will look into this doctor. Was he/she recommended to you by somebody?

Allie,
Was the examination vaginally or rectally?

[Alli]

Hi everyone! Just an update- so far I am 25 weeks pregnant and have had no pain!! I am so thankful for that and hope it continues! I do remain with the tingling/buzzing. Some days I feel like I am getting better and some days I feel no improvement at all. One thing I have noticed is I am feeling a pin pricking sensation in genitals when I walk. Does anyone else feel this way? When people say it hurts to walk, is this what they feel??
The tingling/buzzing can be felt down my legs to my feet at times. I do sometimes feel shocks but this just started happening maybe a month ago. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing!

Right now I am scheduled for a c section in August but am not 100% sure I am going to go this route. I keep thinking what if the pelvic tingling/buzzing gets better after a vaginal delivery! Wouldn't that be wonderful!

Well I just wanted to give a quick update! Wishing you all well!

Thanks

Alli, I'm glad to hear your pregnancy is going OK so far. Do you know yet if you are having a boy or girl -- or do you want to know ahead of time? If I were you, I'm not sure I would be brave enough to try a vaginal delivery given your previous history but whatever you decide I wish you all the best.

I used to have burning perineal pain when I walked -- not so much pin-pricking.

Best,

Violet

Thanks Violet! I am having a boy!! We are so excited!

Anyway, I was doing some research on pelvic nerves. Anyone ever heard of the pelvic splanchnic nerves? Could these cause neuralgia??
