Hi folks,
Came across an interesting visual, showing the Pudendal nerve track versus bicycle seat.
Check this out. http://www.nexride.com
Bicycling caused my PNE. Dr. Hibner released the nerve in 2010 - it had adhered to the scarred STL, R side.
Best,
RJR

Bicycling and Pudendal
Cyclist till perineal pain onset R side (Apr'08). Dx with PN (Aug'09). Lyrica gave 30% pain reduction. Potter MRI (Oct'10) validated at surgery with Dr Hibner (Nov'10) - found nerve attached to scarred STL. Now sitting 10 hrs/day vs 1 hr/day pre-op. Occasional MRI-guided steroid injections by Dr. Jan Fritz at Johns Hopkins. Surgery video = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FDwana6SQU
Deep neuropathic burning pain flares have been gone since surgery...Grateful to Dr Hibner.

Re: Bicycling and Pudendal
Have you ever gotten back on your bike? I miss cycling so much 
Re: Bicycling and Pudendal
No - Though I miss riding a lot, I do not want to tempt fate. Bob
