Just wondering if I should explore a more aggressive form of pt for my nerve entrapment that resulted from a vaginal delivery. I have been through a surgery with Marvel, to free the nerves in the perineal branch. Asa result, have even more scar tissue. I think my area o entrapment is in the deep perineal nerve that maybe he couldn't reach? Thoughts? Before I have another surgery?
Warmly,
Kara
Has pt helped or cured anyone with nerve entrapment?

HI Kara,
Sorry to hear you're still having such a hard time! There are sooooo many nerves that innervate the perineal area. Which branches did you have surgically addressed with Dr. Marvel?
Has he provided you with any input as to where he thinks your pain may be coming from? What type of surgery are you considering?
Warm regards,
Karyn

Ultra Sound in 03/08 showed severely retroverted, detaching uterus with mulitple fibroids and ovarian cysts.
Pressure and pain in lower abdomen and groin area was unspeakable and devastating.
Total lap hysterectomy in 06/08, but damage was already done.
EMG testing in NH in 04/10 - bilateral PN and Ilioinguals
3T MRI at HSS, NY in 09/10
Bilateral TG surgery with Dr. Conway on 03/29/11. Bilat ilioinguinal & iliohypogastric neurectomy 03/12. TCD surgery 04/14.

Kara, what type of PT are you trying now and what would be included in a more aggressive form of PT? There is always a fine line between mobilizing tissue and causing more nerve damage. So, as Peter Dornan suggests in his interview on our homepage you just have to be careful about increasing your pain levels with PT that is too aggressive. So maybe try it but if it causes a flare-up rather than helping then that should raise some red flags.

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.
