Hi,

Well, I can't diagnose you but I can tell you the pudendal nerve innervates the penis, perineal area, anal sphincter, and bladder sphincter. Problems in any of those areas can be associated with PN. Often it isn't just one thing that causes PN but a combination of things over time. The fact that you were an athlete, that you sat a lot, that you had problems with your knee that may have caused you to have pelvic misalignment or sacroiliac joint dysfunction due to the way you were walking, the excessive masturbation, and your anxiety, may have all played a role in your symptoms. I had a lot of inner thigh burning due partly to the obturator internus muscle being overly tense, and partly due to the perineal pain referring down my legs. So, I can't say for sure what is your primary problem but seeing the right people for treatment is important for this problem, so if you can get to a good PT who is trained in treating pelvic issues that is a good place to start. I think you said you have a therapist now. Is this a physiotherapist who is doing pelvic floor myofascial release via the rectum? Is that what caused the burning thigh pain recently? When I had myofascial release of the pelvic floor it caused a flare-up in pain/burning because it aggravated the pudendal nerve.

It could be, because the pudendal nerve often runs alongside the pudendal blood vessels so if one is affected the other could be. The nerves control vasoconstriction in the blood vessels. So I think it can be tricky to determine whether it is a vascular problem or a nerve problem but if you are having other nerve symptoms you naturally would lean toward it being a nerve issue. The burning pain you described is a common symptom with PN. There have been other patients with PN who had skin discoloration although it isn't one of the more common symptoms of PN.

Hi, where are you from exactly ? (if you're willing to share that information).

ED and modification of sensitivity (less or pain) seems common symptoms of the users of this forum.
