blind perineal branch nerver block

Post by AmberCB »

My doctor wants to perform a steroidal nerve block on my perineal branch of my pn. She will NOT be using any guided-imagery. This worries me. Does anyone have experience with this? I am afraid this is not a safe approach. Thanks.

I had 2 perineal corticosteroid blind shots in summer 2010. It helped a little bit.
However, the injection needle did not go very deep.
I think that risk of inujry made by needle is significantly lower than when Alcock is injected.
summer 2009 - episodic post ejaculatory pain,
early 2010- major flare-up, chronification
february 2011 - ESCW wave. major flare-up, lasting 5 months
february 2012 - diagnosed CPPS with irritation of pudendal nerve, hypog. plexus block
june 2012 - dorsal nerve block, no relief
2013 - starting PT with moderate results
2014-2017 better periods interchanging with heavy flare ups
2018 first long remission (several months)
2019-2023 most of the time almost assymptomatic with cca 2 flare ups yearly
