Health Organization for Pudendal Education

I"m doing it in May.. I wonder why more people haven't tried this approach to the pain????

What is it?

PRF must be pulsed radiofrequency. Will you please let us know how this turns out, Carolynm? Also where you are having it done, as the pain doctors where I live do not know about PRF of the pudendal. I'm sure this must be one reason not many people mention it, also I think it may be experimental and not covered by insurance.

Lernica, this is also known as pulsed radiofrequency ablation and is commonly done on bigger nerves like the sciatic. There are a few threads about it on the forum. It involves heating the nerve. PnSuffer-VT's wife is doing a research study on it's use on the PN and it would be nice hear how this is going.

Looking forward to hearing about your experience with PRF. Where are you going for the treatment?

Cari...When is your PRF appt??

I would be interested to hear about experiences with this treatment option.
Cari, how are you doing after that procedure?
Kind regards,
Anne

I've had a positive experience. My rectal and sacral pain are gone completely. Hin the evenings if I have sat too much during the day I have deep left pelvic pain (in the place I'm entrapped, at the SSL) which is generally 5/10.

I will definitely repeat the procedure if t hose other symptoms return. I think it was crucial for the PM to prf both the pudendal and the sacral nerve roots at S2-4.

Cari.. How many office visits did it take and how much did it cost. Thanks.....
