Hello to everyone,
I am a Peruvian citicen.
As most of you I have pain when being sitted.
I have an entrapment of the pudendal nerve in the base of the penis and probably in Alcock canal.
Nextweek I will try shock wave therapy. I hope it can soften scar tisue or fibrosis I could have , increasing space in the canals and therefore feel a little better.
Another option I have is a nerve block. I would greatly appreciate if somebody can tell me who is THE BEST doctor to have a pudendal nerve block in the USA.
REGARDS TO ALL AND MAINTAIN POSITIVE THINKING!!!

Re: PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW WHO IS THE BEST...
If you go to the home page and look under the doctors that treat PN/PNE all of them should have radiologist that work with them that do the pudendal blocks for them. The one's I know of
1. There is a radiologist that works with Dr. Hibner and Dr. Castellanos in Phoenix, AZ who does all their pudendal nerve blocks. However, I cannot remember his name at the moment. You could call Hibner/Castellanos office and ask the name of the radiologist and how to contact the radiology apartment to make an appointment.
2. Dr. Westesson in Rochester, NY in the radiology department. Contact information for him is 585-275-8762. He has done about 6-7 pudendal blocks on me.
3. I do not know who is doing the pudendal nerve blocks for Dr. Conway in New Hampshire. You could call his office and ask which radiologist is doing their nerve blocks.

Dr Jan Fritz at Johns Hopkins...he trained under Hollis Potter, knows the Pudendal nerve as well as anyone, and uses MRI guidance for whisker-close delivery to the suspect nerve regions. He is also a very nice man.
