Anyone had a successful pudendal nerve block in the South of England (or north at a push). I can’t find anywhere that can perform them. Privately is ok.
I’ve had 3 pudendal nerve blocks via nhs at Stanmore Hospital. Sadly 2 of these failed (he didn’t hit the right spot - I didn’t go numb anywhere). I’m pretty sure the only one that did work was a positive for pudendal neuralgia but before I commit to surgery I want another block for confirmation. I’m 2 years in, was a cyclist 24k miles and suffered from severe constipation.
I noted on the second failed block that I actually felt the anaesthetic shoot (like electric shock) into the vaginal area but still didn’t go numb. They call me lucky.

Hello monty
Have you looked at out list of providers for UK & Ireland?
Unfortunately it seems the NHS are not good at providing Nerve blocks too freely nor in many areas of the UK.
If you are prepared to travel to Manchester or Bristol you will find there may be more choice albeit in a private capacity.
It is important to have nerve blocks carried out correctly to allow you to get a diagnosis and perhaps a plan for your future decisions regarding surgery etc.
Please let us know your progress.

PNE started 2003 following Vaginal Hysterectomy, pelvic floor repair and right oophorectomy; eventually after many tests had BilateralTG surgery Nantes 2004; following this tried many other treatments including 7 day epidural, ketamin infusions to no avail; Trialed and was implanted with a Neurostimulator in 2007- Dr Van Buyten Belgium, this has enabled me to manage my pain much better.

I’ve looked through the uk and Ireland section but can not see any information on actual places to get the block.
I’m happy to travel. Have you any suggestions?
The last 2 blocks caused a massive drop in mood due to them not working. Obviously I just want a definitive diagnosis. God I hate this injury. Ruined my life.

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.
