Sorry for my late reply !
For April :
Yes, I saw a specialist in physical or neurological pain or neuralgia in Paris on November 13.
She knows about Pgad syndrome.
However, in my case, she prescribed vitamin B12 in ampoules. A specific drug for sensations in nerve fibers (nerves).
So, the cause of my pgad would be peripheral neuropathy !
Either it's a genetic cause or because of my previous Lyme disease, where the Western Blot all diag mikrogen serological tests had found 2 co-infections = Garinii bacteria and Afzelli, which attacks the nerves and causes peripheral neuropathy !
Some people experience neurological pain or, as in my case, strange sensations.
The 3 specialists don't know if it's due to Lyme and the evolution of this disease? or a "natural" neurological disease (polyneuropathy) ?
Answer for Balenul
According to my pelvic and dorsal spine MRIs, I don't have a tarlov cyst that irritates or pinches the great pudendal nerve.
No cyst, as is often the case, on the nerve roots of the 3 sacro-lumbar S1 S2 S3 and no cyst on the pudendal nerve, perineal, genital sector !
When the cause of a PGAD is a Tarlov cyst on the pudendal nerve or dorsal nerve of the clitoris or penis, the solution is simpler !
The neurosurgeon has to remove the cyst, or sometimes Protrusion or herniation of the disc , especially in the sacro-lumbar region from S1 to S3, where the Pudendal nerve begins and which then leads to the genitals and other organs.
It's a surgical procedure that's often easy to perform.
I just have a small disc protrusion at the L5-S1 sacro-lumbar vertebra, but no pain.
Is this protrusion also one of the causes ? No, because a priori it's polyneuropathy.
Sometimes the cause of a PGAD is genital varicose veins, even in young people ! I don't have any.
Yesterday, Tuesday I started taking vitamin B12 and Duloxcetine 30 mg.
The pain specialist would like me to try acupuncture at a later date.
The worry for me, is that if it is peripheral neuropathy that triggered my PGAD, there is no surgical solution No chance
