Hi Roz,
Welcome The consensus of opinion seems to be that if the pelvic/PN problems began without a particular injury (fall, childbirth, weightlifting or similar) then time with some medication and maybe some appropriate treatment can be a healer.
I was never a tablet/ med taker but I would recommend some medication, Sometimes things can escalate as the pelvis is a rather complicated area and there can be a knock on effect if the initial pain isn't treated. This is often due to surrounding muscles tightening in reaction to this initial pain.
Do you have any defining injury that could be attributed to your pain?
You will find an absolute TON of help on the home pages btw, hope we can help you with your problems.
Take care,
Helen

Razzle, if you are lucky, sometimes it goes away on its own but that may mean you have to make some lifestyle changes. For instance, if you are doing a certain exercise that's causing pain, you may reduce your pain levels by discontinuing the exercise but you may also have to avoid it the rest of your life.

For people with a nerve entrapment, squatting can cause a stretch injury to the nerve and this could get worse over time if your nerve remains entrapped and you continue to squat.

I've actually had a visit to a PT in Pa that claims to have healed a PN'er, and his advice was to squat to break up the scar tissue! No one has the answers and in that way this disease can be very frustrating.

CM, since I had a compression due to the nerve being entrapped in ligaments it wasn't a scar tissue problem -- so maybe that's why squatting made it worse. Who knows.....we are all so different.
