psas/pgad

Post by shopgirl »

I did Go to a Euro-gynocololigst, he gave me gel mixture that is not helping. Anyway, went to another place that have dealt with women
with Psas at http://www.centerforfemalesexuality.com/psas.html and they can only do much, They do not take any medical. She gave me a script for Chantix. I looked it up and it has like 3 hundred side affects and very afraid to try it. They referred me to Dr.Goldstein out of Washington, and the apt is in May. Wow, that is so far from. now. Anyway the Euro gyno is out of a hospital supposed to be one of the best around. And he takes my insurance, dr.Goldstien does not take any insurance, and it is extremely expensive, cant i educate my Euro gyno to know what Dr.Goldstien would know. What do i give him to show him what is going on. This is all new to me. Well let me ask this is this feeling where you are actually having a orgasm or does it feel like you want and have to have an orgasm. Is is constant 24 hours a day like everyone says, or does is come and go hourly or daily. I am very confused about this. Was it mild in the beginning then it got worse. Or did it just come on and just never went away. Can anyone food shop,cook, play with kids or garden, or is thing 24 hours and your stuck in the bed.. Sorry for the question, just trying to understand this. Thank you for your time.

Shopgirl, there is a thread on this subject that may answer a lot of your questions. http://www.pudendalhope.info/forum/view ... =48&t=1590
There might be some treatments your urogynecologist would be willing to learn about and help you with but if your symptoms are caused by pudendal neuralgia, you might have to see one of the PN specialists.
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.

This symptom is horrific. Mine came along with clitoral stabbling pain. Ice to the area (I put a pillow case between the ice pack and my genital area). I cannot do much at all with this symptom. Lie in bed and ice. Calm that nerve down by avoiding sitting, bending, reaching. If you tell us where you are located, maybe someone here has some doc recommendations for you.

I know how you feel

If you're not too far from NYC you could try seeing Amy Stein for PT and have the MRI from Dr. Potter.
