I feel your pain man. I will not give up on this condition.
after taking antibiotics for years thinking it was prostatitis, the cause of this problem.
I drive for a living so it doesnt help much. But i think that our issue has to do with, not only pudendal nerve, but with the muscles surrounding the pelvic and bladder and rectum. They seem to be out of control. What made my condition worst was about two years ago, i had a mri probe inserted in my rectum and ever since , i have been dealing with anal fissures and rectal spasms and pin and needles pain in both sides of my rectum.

Wow, i'm sorry you're suffering too.

Yeah i took my Prostatitis antibiotics 2 week dose that he gave me, and it didn't work at all. The thing with me is the Dr just checked the prostate but what if i have stuff in the penis/urethra. he didn't even check. Did you ever have a cystoscopy? Maybe i need one.

But then what if cystoscopy reveals nothing? Then what?

Yeah, i had that done. About 3 times and it doesnt show anything abnormal.
What the Cystoscopy did for me was open my urine stream for about a day or two.
Then went back to weak stream the following week. Listen i thought i was the only suffering from this. Lets hang in there brother. I will keep in touch and i hope u do the same. What u need to do is find a urologist that can send u for a urodynamics.

Well, it's tough if you don't have insurance but many people have significant improvements with the right treatments. I don't know if you are eligible for disability, medicare, or medicaid.
