Health Organization for Pudendal Education

I will come back to the forum another day to do a search on these topics. I always forget to mention this part of my story: my pudendal neuralgia started while I had a left groin strain. I never figured out how the groin strain happened, but it started suddenly -- one day last fall I had pain in my groin. And shortly afterward is when the pudendal neuralgia started.

I know the groin muscles (the adductors) attach to the pelvis in the viscinity of the pudendal nerve as it exits the canal and becomes the dorsal branch. So, I think it's possible it's related. The groin strain resolved itself after several months, but I still seemingly randomly get a small amount of groin pain from time to time.

And then I wonder if the groin pain could be from a labral tear... maybe the MRI will tell me.

Do you think you could have sacroiliac joint dysfunction? Groin pain is a common symptom of it. I've also been told sometimes (more rarely) women have vulvodynia with SIJD.

I don't know, Faith. I don't know that much about SIJD. Another thing to read about!

OK -- after a quick search online, I don't think I have SIJD. My groin strain was really a muscle strain in my inner thigh, sore to touch and massage the adductors, pain with using the adductors, etc.
