Possible S3 nerve damage

Thank you for replying to my post. I did not respond immediately as I was fortunate to obtain a referral to a top Neurosurgeon who also teaches neurosurgery at university. I was very interested in your response as regards "inflammation of the sacro-iliac joint". I read the results of my pelvis MRI which stated "No accute sacroilitis is demonstrated". I spoke to the neuro surgeon and he has ruled that out at this stage.
My Nurosurgeon has now ordered a new MRI from a new MRI machine which apparently provided a much clearer picture of the nerves. He has ordered:
- MRI - whole spine and GAD
-MRI of the pelvis
-MRN of the sacral neurography PLUS
-Nerve Conduction test of LL inc Perineal
The surgeon mentioned he has been involved in some research of PFCN (involvement of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (PFCN), including its perineal and inferior cluneal branches to the symptom of “sitting pain.) which he believes "could" be a cause of my pain possible caused by the epidural durin my prostatecomy some 4 years ago.
I will continue to post here when I get further results.
Thank you so much for your reply to my post
John

Have you gotten relief for your sitting pain? I think I may have PFCN issues.

Hi John. Thanks for posting. Can you please supply the name and hospital of your neurosurgeon? I am in desperate need of testing to determine how to help my pain. Been through surgeries etc. But no great diagnosis so no success. Thank you!
