YES! people without PN symptoms as controls: males/females/young/old/nulliparous/multiparous/cyclists/post-surgical/sedentary jobs/etc etc.
Fell skating 2008. Abnormal PNMLT R perineal branch 12/08. Pudendal block +relief for several hours. Complete recovery, off medications, using cushion after 9 months; re-injured late 2009 doing yardwork. Major flare after injections 2&3 Feb. 2010. No sitting/hyperprotecting since 2/2010 to present. Symptoms gradually better, but not like the first time; still with pain up to 5, but 1-3 most common and 0 while recumbent.

Did you have a guided nerve block?
PN pain post laproscopic vaginal hysterectomy. MRN diagnosed me with piriformis, sciatica, and pudendal syndromes.

It is worth remembering that correlation does not imply causation. Many of us are finding this condition to be progressive, with or without nerve blocks. Although your condition has worsened, and you've had nerve blocks, the two are not necessarily linked.
