You should be scared. Having PN is a nightmare. I was diagnosed with PN last year by my pain management Dr after PN nerve blocks, which only relieved my pain for a day. I had surgery two years ago to place a sling under my urethra to help with incontinence. The GYN damaged the Pudendal nerve on both sides. Nobody has heard of PN. Not a Urogyn, surgeon, gynecologist, urologist, nobody helped me. Just a bunch of stupid tests. Right now I get a ganglion impar block every month. It helps 50%. I wish somebody could tell me what kind of Dr could help me. Knowing I will live with this for the rest of my life is too much. I try to stay positive but with this intense pain I realize how weak my mental health is. I've been in 2 mental hospitals because of suicidal thoughts because of the pain.
