To All:
It took me almost a year to join this forum after believing I had and was somewhat diagnosed with PN. Well, now I definitely know I have pudendal nerve entrapment as well as a huge cyst lying my obturator nerve. I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Conway on July 12th. I just wanted to write to let everyone know that I am so glad I joined this forum. I have received so many caring and helpful emails from the people I contacted. Each and everyone of them took the time to help answer my questions and share their empathy about my condition. I want others to know how thankful I am for your guidance during these difficult times and if there is anything I can do in return, I will!!!!
Sincerely,
Annmarie
Thank you to all!!!
Thank you to all!!!

Annmarie, I'm wishing you a successful surgery. Please take it easy afterwards and remember it takes a lot of time to heal.
Take care,

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.
Re: Thank you to all!!!
AnneMarie, How were you diagnosed?
Athlete until pain started in 2001. Diagnosed with PN in Nov. 2010. Probable cause: 3 difficult labors, 5 pelvic surgeries for endometriosis, and undiagnosed hip injuries. 60% better after 3 rounds of shockwave therapy in Cornwall, Ontario (Dec - Feb/12). 99% better after bilateral hip scopes for FAI and labral tears (April and July/12). Pelvic pain life coach Lorraine Faendrich helped me overcome the mind/body connection to chronic pain: http://www.radiantlifedesign.com
