Symptoms and surgery

[Balenul]

Hi Tom,

The surgeon did not mention scar tissue. I posted part of surgical report in another entry within the past couple of months, so you could search for my recent entries and find that.

I do not think I have the right side compressed too. I have a very tender area on the left side near the base of my left labia, and I've never had that on the right. I do get broader diffuse pain, but I think that is referred pain. It feels like the source is on the left.

Yes, I have heard that unique anatomical features may set someone up for this compression. Hibner thought my small pelvis might have meant there was less room for the ligaments, making me vulnerable to compression. I can also sit without pain, and he and his (former) pt noted that pattern in patients with my build and they thought it might be because bending opened up space in the pelvis.

Who did your surgery? How is the recovery going?

Take care,
April

Hibner want to try surgery on me also.I never had sitting pain just pgad for some months and my biggest problem my non stop urethral sensation to urinate and sometime pain ( pressure , burning etc ).Pudendal block bilateral did zero ....i was numb but zero relief

Hi Balenul,

You say the block numbed you but you got zero relief? You mean zero relief from the pgad? Or the urge to urinate? What did the doctor who did the block thing of that outcome? Was the block done with imaging? Without imaging, it is more likely that they miss the nerves. If the nerve is missed, you could get numb in a neighboring region but not in a pudendal nerve area.

I see. Hm.... that is confusing. What did Hibner say about the block not reducing your symptoms?
