Hi everyone
My pudendal pain started 12m ago at the same time I developed rectal bleeding and diarrhoea. Eventually I was diagnosed with an inflammed rectum (proctitis likely Ulcerative Colitis)
The proctitis was treated with Asacol tablets, it took about 6 months to control the inflammation. However the pain persisted eventually worsening. Sitting 8-12 hrs a day and exercising heavily probably didnt help either. I am convinced that this caused a neuritis of my pudendal nere, specialist Gastroenterologist didn't think so. Having said that she didnt know what the pain was.
Is anyone out there aware of a link between Ulcerative Colitis and PN? Or of Any studies linking the two?
Doesn't make a difference overall I know, I just need the PN treating. Just interesting.
Regards
Lex

Re: Ulcerative colitis
Lex, I've been following the PN peer reviewed literature for 7 years now and don't remember any studies linking the 2 but it's possible there's something out there. Have you checked out pubmed for peer-reviewed literature on the subject?
PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

I heard that a vegan diet does wonders for Ulcerative Colitis.

Hi lex
I don't know if you have read any of my posts, but one of my reasons ( as well as the much needed support was to gather data about the high incidence of p.n.e with people who have had iliostomys! About seventy present of these people suffered with u.c I consider that the incidence of p.n.e is due to the life saving surjury? Your e. mail gives an interesting slant. Hope this is of interest
