Health Organization for Pudendal Education

Thank you do much for your answer Violet. After giving it much thought, I decided to not do either injection. I'm worried about them potentially causing other issues, or simply flaring up my pudendal pain. Now I am looking into getting a DRG implant

This is so useful; thank you! It looks like my issues are coming from s2 & s3...possibly s4 as well. In case you get a neurostimulator, whether DRG or any other, you will need a map of where each spine “port” controls on your body. Just google Dermatome Map, and there are many images of the spin...

Everything I've read says that DRG has a much higher success rate. Sadly it appears that many more doctors do SCS, but it is much harder to find those who do DRG. (especially in-network for marketplace insurance)

I am considering trying a Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) implant...it seems to have pretty good success rate. Has anyone had issues from the DRG implant? Does it just prevent pain signals from reaching the brain, or does it interfere with other nerve signals? I'm concerned about it affecting sexual func...

Thank you for sharing this. I am considering a caudal epidural block and having trouble finding any information on its use for PN. - Bart I found this article hope it helps someone with similar symptoms * Pain Management Centre, Royal Infirmary Hospital, Leicester (UK) Correspondence: Waqas Ashraf C...

Hi Dexter, Did the ganglion impar block give you any relief? I am considering having one and it is so hard to find any information about its use for PN. Thanks, Bart And of course, do not rush into anything even remotely more invasive until you have exhausted all of the conservative treatment option...

After 3 pudendal blocks (all confirmed PN, none offered any lasting relief once the lidocaine wore off), a pulsed RF procedure that did nothing but flare up pain for a week, and months of pelvic floor PT, my doctor suggested trying one of these: - Ganglion Impar Block - apparently this is supposed t...

I had quite a bit of PRP on the past for another injury and honestly, I can't see how it would help with pudendal neuralgia. Its primary function is to make the body build connective tissue, whereas it seems in most cases of PN there are impingements and muscular dysfunction that put pressure on the...

You are amazing - thank you so much! According to this publication they recommend a dose of 10 mg. at bedtime (HS) but that is for females and it doesn't say whether it's a vaginal or rectal suppository but I don't think that would make a difference in the dose. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...

Thank you so much for your kind reply, and for being the most responsive person on this forum. Bless you FOLLOW UP I had this procedure done in Jan 2024. It flared up my pain for about a week after the procedure, then...nothing. No effect on pain. Awww, that makes me really sad for you. I'm sorry to...
