Dry Needling

I'm currently going for pelvic floor therapy - I'm in my 3rd month (14 sessions). My therapist wants to try dry kneedling. I would be her first patient doing it. She just recently had some training with this. My husband thinks it's best to wait until she has done more work with this technique.

As a result of hysterectomy surgery in March 2019, I have scar tissue around the pudendal nerve. I have a gynecologist appointment on Dec. 16, 2020 to get a proper diagnosis because i have been to so many gynecologists, neurologists and a pain care management doctor. They say it can very well be caused by something gone wrong during the surgery, however, no one seems to know how to treat this. My current physical therapist is trying different manual therapies, but I still have the same burning. The burning is worse when sitting or standing too long. I also get the burning in my feet.

I would appreciate any feedback or your use of this method
Thanks,
Dorothy
