Chronic Pain pudendal area for 3 years, after a hard jolt to right side.
18 months later discovered sprained/fused sacro-illiac injury. Told to 'live with it' then saw this forum October 2011 = symptoms matched. Attempting to get this investigated in the face of lack of skilled docs in New Zealand.
Been told I have IC Dec 2011
FINALLY - 3T MRI in Christchurch 5th May 2012 - Pudendal nerve block, unguided 8th June 2012 - still waiting on results and progress from these.

Shawn, this is a great topic. I used ace gel packs. They fit nicely between two pairs of underwear. Oh well, where else would you discuss such a personal topic. :oops: :lol: I got mine at Walgreens a few years back but you can get them from amazon at this link: http://tinyurl.com/d9pfyw9

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

I love the Mueller ice wrap found here http://tinyurl.com/89ppuj4 I wrap it around my sacrum (it has velcro mesh holder) and it helps a lot with my sacral/coccyx pain.

Thanks for the reccommendation Violet and Cari. I've been needing something like the one you mentioned. How big is it? Amazon didn't say. I was going to try to look for it locally but want to get the right one.

Faith, that looks like a great wrap. I might get one for my knee!

The ace pack I posted above is the size of a pad that you would wear for a period. At least it is if it's the same as the ones I have --and it looks the same .

Thanks shawn. wanted to ask you if the knit boxers come on soft on the waist. I've been really looking for something that doesn't grip at all.

Also, wanted to share the Far Infra Red heat pad that I use. It is fairly big 2 feet by 3 feet so can cover a lot of area. And it emits infra red radiations in a wavelength range similar to sunlight and which are known to have therapeutic effect and can penetrate a few centimeters into the skin. I've had a good experience so far and it does comfort me and I use it daily. But using for too long irritates the nerve. So I don't usually go beyond two hours at a time. And it has 4 intensity levels which helps.
