Back problems as a culprit?

Post by KC17 »

I know the PN comes from S2-S4, but my back popped this morning, or well more like crunched, and I instantly had shooting pains to my genitals. The first time in over a week.

Correlation? I don't know, I just find it funny that when my back shifts (l5-s1 area) I get these pains..
Pain started suddenly April 2010.
3T MRI w/ Dr. Potter, January 2011 shows bilateral impingement of the dorsal nerve of the clitoris.

Unsure what to do next because my pelvis is a mess.

KC -- have you had an MRI checking for pathology in that area yet?
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.

Yes, I had VERY minimal bulging of discs as l4-l5 and l5-s1.
