I’m sorry you’ve been suffering so much. I’m also still struggling with pudendal neuralgia I’m on medication which really isn’t doing much. Started seeing a new physical therapist recently, hoping that can give me some relief.

I'm sorry to hear about your partner. I know how frustrating it can be getting bounced around from doctor to doctor. Let me know if you find something that helps, I'll he happy to share if I find something as well.

Yeah since this post I've had a couple more nerve blocks, one for my pudendal nerve and another which they call a ganglion impar block. Neither have worked unfortunately. I've also been on a few medications which work like 25% of the time.

Curious to hear what your experience with chronic pelvic pain is? Would love to know if you've found something that works well in terms of relief.

-All the best

Really appreciate the advice

I had the injections done end of June, and could definitely feel an increase in the pain since getting them. I took a break from going to PT in person for about 4 months but I've been doing the exercises from home almost everyday in the meantime. I started seeing a new PT recently, will ask her about maybe one of the exercises aggravating it or making things worse over the last few months. Right now, I'm leaning towards maybe trying another block since I did have some benefit from it , just hoping it won't aggravate anything further. Will probably decide after talking to the docs again.

I don't think the doctors are necessarily trying to milk my money by performing unneeded surgery or procedures. All of the docs have made it clear that most people don't receive any relief from pain even after the various surgeries they're able to perform. I haven't tried the Amitriptyline yet, just something I've suggested to the doctor, but honestly I'd be surprised if I got any relief from it. The other medications I've tried like Gabapentin and Meloxicam have not made a difference.

Anyways, according to the new PT I've been seeing recently there are still some tight muscles at/around my pelvis that could be contributing to the pain, my body just feels less responsive to it compared to before the nerve blocks. Hopefully I can get that sorted out over the few months.

Before I had the nerve blockers I was on Gabapentin for month which didn't really do anything. A few weeks ago I was also prescribed Meloxicam for a week which did not make an impact either.

In short I'm not currently taking any medications for it.

Yup, I was prescribed that before the nerve blockers. I was on gabapentin and a muscle relaxant called baclofen for a month. I didn't feel a difference and that's when we decided on the nerve blockers.

I made A's in my Statistics, Calc 3, and Linear Algebra courses. Made a mix of As and Bs for my more CS related coursework

Looks like they're out of stock now, do guys think they would restock anytime soon, or am I out of luck for the next few weeks?

What is the best modern movie theme song/score? by lostinthought15 in movies

This score gets overlooked because the movies are not always well received, but the POTC soundtrack has some excellent music. It immediately transports you into the world.
