Hi April and Voilet,


Thank you for taking time to reply me.
I guess its something to do with nerve and may be the lesion is irritating a nerve.I will look into the PNMLT test too.
I'm taking stool softeners,mostly have to void semi standing.I feel the obstruction to my right side.I have also had my coccyx removed too,6monhs ago,still no use.It didnot address my bowel problem and the more I sit the tighter my stools become.Its the same even after coccyx removal.
I will take another appointment from my doctor to have the lesion analysed.

Thank you again

Hi CC,

Stool softeners don't help me. I have to take magnesium citrate tablets on a regular basis. You can adjust the amount to how soft you want your stools to be.

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.

Yes, that's my story but I noticed I haven't updated it for a long time. I need to update it because I am doing better than when I wrote that.

Hi Traci, I have pudendal Neuralgia, bilateral, diagnosed and being treated by Dr. Hibner. I had Botox into pelvic floor muscles and nerve steroids both on Feb 1, then another Nerve steroids April 11, 2018. One thing that did not change throughout it all was pain at both sides of my coccyx, including a specific area on the left side that “pokes” painfully when my bowels get full. It goes away after I have a BM. I discussed this with my PT and she was able to replicate the exact poking feeling by pressing a finger on my left coccygeus muscle. We’ve been working on that muscle, both sides. Apparently they became shortened by the pull from my pelvic muscles, which were in spasms and knots by the time I got the Botox. I do piriformis stretches, use a squatty potty, and transition from sitting to standing in a way that lengthens the coccygeus muscle rather than letting it tuck under. All of this is making a big difference, pain wise. I know this is much different from your situation but maybe others drawn to your post could find it helpful.
Sincerely, Sk8rcruz Lisa
