Health Organization for Pudendal Education

When i had an unguided transvaginal nerve block done last september the corticosteroid used was DepoMedrone - active ingredient methylprednisolone.

Kenalog is mentioned on here but i have not read of Depomedrone use.

This block didn't work for me - as i am not much better either i am now questioning the steroid used.

Grateful for any thoughts.

Rosemary, this article has a discussion of the different steroids used in epidurals. You can take the information and extrapolate it to pudendal nerve blocks.

For me I deal with lots of inflammation. The steroid stopped some serious spasming for me. I am glad I have a steroid block coming up soon, I need it! This being said, my nerve seemed more irritated with a steroid block. So, there is good and bad to it I suppose.
