Health Organization for Pudendal Education

hi everyone, ok I'm 4 days out from my bilateral pudendal nerve block...apart from the horrendous flare up in pain I'm having I also have a burning feeling in the sole of my right foot....my pudendal nerve is more damaged on the right side than the left...has anyone else had this and what was the answer?? is there anything that can help me..i feel like I'm at my wits end with this ....honestly i feel like just giving up....

Who did the nerve blocks?

Hi Shanny, I also have a related condition called erythromelalgia that causes burning feet. Does your foot turn bright red when the burning flares up?

Shannon, I had flareups with nerve blocks too. Hopefully it will calm down soon. Sorry you are going through this but you still have options to try so I think it's too soon to give up.

Not sure what you mean by more damaged on the right than the left. I had considerably more pain on the right than the left but my PNMLT scores were worse on the left. So it depends on which fibers are damaged -- the motor fibers or the sensory fibers as to how much pain you experience.
