Get a Pudendal Nerve Block!
If you think your pudendal nerve is entrapped between your sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments (*), as mine was, find yourself a competent physician who will: 1) give you a diagnostic injection using radiographic guidance (do not bother with steroids; they won’t help at all) 2) put you under mi...

Re: Surgery -- Only for the truly desperate? (Aszmann/Lakhiani)
Dr Hibner detaches both the SS and ST ligaments, but then reattaches the ST ligament (after working on the nerve) for added stability. I notice nothing regarding my SS ligament being detached.
This is explained nicely on his website.

A Clear Sign I Had PNE, in Retrospect
My pudendal nerve got entrapped between my sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments during one (or more) of a serious of four disastrous hip surgeries in 2009. Sometime around 2010, I had to - HAD TO - drive my son and his friend 600 miles (each way, 1200 miles round-trip). It was the sort of trip a...

Re: Decompression surgery after 4 years of PNE
Make SURE your surgeon plans on descarring your nerve. I had a classic entrapment between the sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments. The majority of the surgery, time wise, was spent removing scar tissue.

Hellllllooooooooo Violet!
Thank you for writing. This was actually a letter which I sent to a physician (whom I respect, but whom I don’t know).

Mods, please feel free to move this to a more appropriate forum. The letter is lightly edited to protect the doctor’s privacy, etc. — I read your article about psoas release with great interest. Please read this email as a cautionary tale. I had a THA in 2009 that got infected. After the second wash...

Re: Opioids in America
Have you tried pain management specialists? Sometimes they're more open to options. I apologize to both of you - for some reason, If I write a long note (which I did), this board signs me out, and the note is lost. I recently sent a long message to a member here who is in agony, and it, too, was lo...

Re: Suppositories
Before my surgery, I took compounded Ketamine, Baclofen, and Lidocaine suppositories, and they didn’t do a thing for the pain.

Opioids in America
8-9 years ago, I suppose I was in about as much chronic pain as anyone could possibly be in - (I’m male, and it was later confirmed that my pudendal nerve was “severely entrapped” between my sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments, and also “severely scarred.” A transgluteal surgery helped greatly ...
