I had some groin pain but that was not the primary symptom. I think sometimes the initial pain spreads to other areas because the pelvic muscles go into spasm. The interesting thing for me was that after I had the pudendal nerve released, slowly as the nerve pain decreased my other symptoms of piriformis syndrome with sciatic type symptoms, shooting abdominal pains, groin pain, and perineal pain went away. It was like the entire pelvis was sick but once the pain generator was removed everything else calmed down too.

groin pain is pretty typical, I have it also. There is much of the cross-talk of nerves, so it is difficult to isolate the areas which are not directly innervated by pudendus, but are clearly interlinked via muscles, tendons, trigger points etc. Groin pain is seldom the initial culprite of pain.

No, actually I haven't had much anal pain. There are significant individual variations in anatomy with the inferior rectal nerve. My primary pain was knife-like pain on the right side of the vagina. Dr. Bautrant said it was primarily the perineal branch of the pudendal nerve that was involved.
