Does edema in the obdurator muscle go away on its own? I think it depends on what is causing it. If it is a result of surgery and there are no other contributing factors, hopefully it will go away with time. But if there is something like scar tissue or some other structure impeding the microvascul...

The pain hits the hardest in the area I marked with the green arrow. I sent a message to my pain doctor and he said there was nothing we could do. Pain, stinging, burning, perineum, penis, anus as well The areas you are describing are innervated by the pudendal nerve. If the pain you marked with th...

I did some things after surgery that I think contributed to the healing. 1. Hyperbaric oxygen treatments. My insurance paid fo...

Sorry I didn't make that clear. By 9 months post-op I discontinued narcotics and the pain was at a lower level especially if I wasn't sitting, but sitting was still a problem. By 18 months I was able to start sitting more. Now I can sit for hours with no pudendal nerve pain, stinging, or burning. H...

I am a retired physician with a typical story about someone (myself) with a pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) syndrome. I experienced the usual long delay in diagnosis, the frustrating and unsuccessful initial therapy, and an inability to find physicians with an interest or expertise in this disorder...
