PN after surgery?
Posted: Fri Nov 24, 2023 3:54 am
Hi there everyone,
This is my introduction, I had sciatic nerve decompression surgery earlier this year, now about 7 months out.
Before surgery I had severe sciatic pain down one leg as well as pelvic pain. I had an mri that showed likely sciatic nerve entrapment.
The surgery I had was laparoscopic robotic surgery.
Unfortunately post surgery i have new pain i would classify as Pudendal neuralgia as well as continuing other pains i had pre surgery.
The PN has been very distressing as it is very intense and the least helped (of all my different pains) by any pain medicines/treatments.
I would describe the pain as burning / being whipped with an electric cord.
I am going for a nerve block /pulsed radio frequency modulation to my pudendal nerve next week.
I will update on how i go and hopefully be able to share info on how it works out.
I am hopeful it will help others here also.
This is a very difficult disorder to have and I'm very grateful that this website exists.
Wishing you all healing.
